===Nouns===
Enkesh nouns are agglutinates of basic words, a bit like how some German words are constructed(such as German ''Fernseher'', "television", lit. "far-seer"). An Enkesh example of this would be a word like ''[[Contionary:otiqaöpinád|otiqaöpinád]]'', meaning "front yard/lawn", which is comprised of the words ''[[Contionary:otiqa|otiqa]]''(green), ''[[Contionary:öpin|öpin]]''(front, front-facing), and the locative case suffix ''-ád'', so, a literal translation would be ''green-front-<small>LOC</small>''.
====Cases====
Enkesh uses noun case declensions to describe nouns. Of these, Enkesh has six noun cases: the '''nominative''', '''ergative''', '''accusative''', '''dative''', '''genitive''' and '''locative'''. All of them, excluding the nominative, are indicated using a distinct suffix.
