 Proto-Ăn Yidiș lost the neuter gender and the dual number, and had at least the nominative and the genitive. It's unknown whether the vocative survived outside a few words. The accusative and dative were replaced by the nominative; the genitive now marked definite objects of verbal nouns much like Hebrew את. Possessives began to be marked with the ''an X a(i)g Y'' construction.
-In present-day Ăn Yidiș dialects (not counting Standard Ăn Yidiș), declension is best preserved in Southeastern European (Bohemian Hasidic) Ăn Yidiș, but even that has simplified somewhat to a lenition-free, genderless paradigm. Standard Ăn Yidiș grammar is somewhat archaic, being based on the 19th century Hasidic dialects where declension was best preserved, presumably in an effort to imitate Irish declension.
