Létë/Declension Paradigms

Irregular declensions (or special), are underlined

Nouns on -a
Nouns on -a always have regular declensions. Note that dual -u, -ummë, -uo, -urrë, plural -io, and singular -o all replace the final -a.

We use alla "leaf" Note that nouns on -oa have comitative singular on -avo:

hroa "door" -> hravo

and always have dual in -t.

Nouns on -ë without i-stem
These nouns have regular declensions. It has plural on -ië, which replaces the final -ë, and dual on -t.

We use nelpë "softness, comfort"

Nouns on -ë with i-stem
These nouns use -i in all cases instead of -ë except nominative singular and nominative plural, where they end in -ië. They have dual on -t. This is due to the fact that as the language evolved, its phonology developed so that no word may end in an i, among others.

We use lingwë (lingwi-) "chair"

Nouns on -o without u-stem
These behave much the same as nouns on -a.

We use poro "reel"

Nouns on -o with u-stem
These use -u in all cases except nominative singular.

We use yamo (yamu-) "digit" Note that nouns such as these that end in -co or -go change to -qu and -gw respectively in certain plural cases. This happens for: nominative plural, with the ending -ië rather than the normal -n; genitive plural, with the ending -irin; essive plural, with the ending -ita; instrumental plural, with the ending -iva; comitative plural, with the ending -ion; and abessive plural, with the ending -irë. Here is a table with oco "beast" to help clarify:

2-letter nouns
Nouns in this category decline regularly.

We use fé "the eye" Note that body parts that come in natural pairs, among other words, are an exceptional to the rule that no word may end on a diphthong, when it come to nominative dual case. Hence feu is allowed, and would mean "eyes". Plural would mean many "eyes".
