Grammar
Due to inaccuracies in the program, that which should be written on top of a root letter (a letter from which others are derived, such as z and 'z) is written to the left. Hyperian grammar has many aspects to it, but the structure is quite logical and simple. Nouns are declined according to eight cases, three genders, and three numbers; and adjectives agree with nouns in case, number, and gender. Verbs are conjugated according to seven moods, nine tenses and two voices. Adverbs are not conjugated, nor are they declined; but rather, affixes are added to them. Pronouns are seldom used because Hyperian is a highly inflected language.

Nouns
There are, as previously mentioned, eight cases: the nominative (the subject), the genitive (the posessive), the dative (the indirect object), the accusative (the direct object), the vocative (the indentificating declension used when calling a subject directly), the ablative (the case using prepositions that do not denote location), the locative (the case using prepositions that denote location), and the demonymitive (the case denoting the origin).

Nouns are also declined by number, of which there are three: the singular (one noun), the dual (two nouns of different gender), and the plural (more than two nouns).

In addition to number, nouns are declined by gender, of which there is also three: the masculine, the feminine and the neuter. The three declensions are arranged according to gender.
