===Declension===
===Declension===
Umbrean nouns are declined according to 4 things, Gender (Magical, Living, Articial and Non-moving), Case (Intransitive, Ergative, Accusative, Postpositional and reflexive), State (Indefinate, Definate, Constructive) and Number (Plural, Singular and Paucal).
The manner in which they are declined according to these criterias are through {{lg|Circumfixes|circumfixes}} which goes at the begining and end of the word, though some circumfixes are nulled on their prefix part or suffix part. The pattern is generally complex for each noun but there is an over all general structure of where the Declension consonants are applied directly to the stem if the phonotactics allows it, if it does not the circumfixal vowels are added first and then the declension. Key thing to remember is that the circumfixal vowels, the prefix and suffix part, technicly work independetly, meaning that if only the prefix part is required to make it go and not the suffix the prefix part alone is added and not the suffix one and vice versal.
