 w-declension
-In contrast to other Slavic languages the w-declension or ū-declension is well preserved and still productive, especially for Low Saxon and German loan words ending in velar consonant.
+In contrast to other Slavic languages Dravenian preserved the w-declension, also called long ū-declension or v-declension in Slavic philology. It is still productive especially for incorporating feminine Low Saxon and German loan words or loans from other languages, ending in a velar consonant.
+All words of the w-declension are feminine and have a stem ending in a velar sound or a dental plosive. They can be recognized by their ending -ai or -oi in the nominative case and their declensional endings with w in the other cases.
