Calaren

Nouns
Calaren has two grammatical genders. There are two declensions, first and second, and consist, in order, of nouns ending in consonants and nouns ending in vowels. The first declension belongs to feminine nouns, with the remaining declension consisting of masculine nouns. Nouns in Calaren decline for case and number. There are seven declined cases, though the final three are holdovers from historical forms and are rarely used in modern practice. The cases are nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, partitive, collective and vocative. Nouns decline for two numbers, singular and plural. Nouns cases are often signified by additional letters added to the stem of the noun but can also be marked by changing of the final consonant sound into the appropriate mutation given in the following table

First Declension
First declension nouns are all feminine and have stems ending in a consonant. * -- represents no change.

** ~ represents final consonant mutation.

Second Declension
Second Declension nouns are all masculine and have stems ending in a vowel. * (x) represents the removal of the final stem vowel.

** whenever a central or rear vowel is both preceeded and followed by an r, the first r becomes either a d or l.
