Like our Slavic, Albionian has masculine, feminine and neuter genders, and has the same gender markers as our Slavic. Gender-neutral forms are sometimes created by concatenating masculine and feminine endings. | Like our Slavic, Albionian has masculine, feminine and neuter genders, and has the same gender markers as our Slavic.

Modern Standard Netažin nouns and adjectives have retained five of the seven Proto-Slavic cases: nominative, dative, genitive, allative from the PSlav accusative after prepositions, and vocative. (Dialects differ in the number of cases; some conservative dialects retain all 7 Proto-Slavic cases, while some dialects, particularly in Cualand, have lost case entirely.) The nominative is used for both subjects and direct objects; the dative fills the role of dative nouns and after some prepositions in our Slavic languages. The instrumental (''instrumentaùl'') is semi-productive in forming adverbs and expressions, e.g. ''prawdü'' 'really'; ''beagom'' 'during'; ''wuzglaindom'' 'owing to, in view of'; ''pomöþi'' 'with, using'; ''inejmi slowai'' 'in other words'. | Modern Standard Netažin nouns and adjectives have retained five of the seven Proto-Slavic cases: nominative, dative, genitive, allative from the PSlav accusative after prepositions, and vocative.
