===Nouns=== | |||
Iscégon has two main regular noun declensions, with, however, lots of exceptions. The two declensions are somewhat predictable as they were simple regular agglutinating suffixes in Proto-Evandorian, and their divergence is the result of vowel harmony. Íscégon nouns decline for two numbers (singular and plural) and five cases: nominative, accusative, locative, ablative, and lative - the same stock as in reconstructed Proto-Evandorian and other ancient or conservative Evandorian languages (like Ancient Nivarese, Holenagic, and Gathura). | |||
Many nouns are learned with two forms, as the nominative through sound changes has lost final consonants that reappear in other parts of the declension, namely: | |||
* In all plural forms of the first declension; | |||
* In lative singular and all plural forms except locative for the second declension. | |||
