Aurónian has six noun cases – [[w:Nominative_case|nominative]], [[w:Genitive_case|genitive]], [[w:Accusative_case|accusative]], [[w:Dative case|dative]], [[w:Essive_case|essive]], [[w:Comitative_case|comitative]] - of which the first four are inherited from Indo-European. The remaining two, the essive and comitative are innovations common to the [[Lúsanic_languages|Finio-Dhannic languages]]. Certain words appear to preserve a seventh case - the instrumental - but it is extremely rare to encounter this form in modern literature. | Aurónian has six noun cases – [[w:Nominative_case|nominative]], [[w:Genitive_case|genitive]], [[w:Accusative_case|accusative]], [[w:Dative case|dative]], [[w:Essive_case|essive]], [[w:Comitative_case|comitative]] - of which the first four are inherited from Indo-European.

There are two [[w:Grammatical number|numbers]] - singular and plural - although certain words are only encountered in one of these. [[w:Grammatical gender|Grammatical gender]] appears to be in process of disappearing from the language, Dhannuá originally having had three - masculine, feminine, neuter - but now tendencies to merge the first two are becoming increasingly prevalent in certain forms of the spoken language. | There are two [[w:Grammatical number|numbers]] - singular and plural - although certain words are only encountered in one of these.
