===Nouns===
===Nouns===
{{PAGENAME}} nouns have 2 numbers and 4 cases, but the nominative has merged with the accusative, and the dative with the genitive. Unusually for a Germanic language, there is no grammatical gender. The endings are fairly conservative. However, there has been some conflation between different declension paradigms.
{{PAGENAME}} nouns do not inflect by case. Plurals are most often formed by tone change.
 
The indefinite article is indeclinable: ''e'' is used before consonants and ''en'' before vowels. The definite article is likewise always ''se''.
====a-stems====
Also includes the an-stem nouns (which have regularized their declension).
