Dravenian nouns inflect for case, number and gender. | |||
There are three numbers. Besides singular and plural Dravenian preserved the Slavic dual number, which denotes a pair of something. | |||
The nouns are inflected for six cases: nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, locative and instrumental. The former Slavic vocative merged with nominative case. | |||
The Dravenian language bhas three genders: masculine, neuter and feminine. In accordance with other Slavic languages the accusative of masculine animate nouns is identical to nominative while inanimate masculine nouns have an accusative identical to the genitive. Therefore the the masculine gender can be subdivided into animate and inanimate, resulting in an total number of gender in Dravenian. | |||
