Nouns

Nouns in Waghara decline for case and number, and are divided into two genders and seven declensions. There are 6 cases: nominative (nom); accusative (acc); alienable genetive (gen1); inalienable genetive (gen2); stative (stt); and purposive (pps). The nominative case is used for the subjects of transative and intransative verbs; and the accusative for the object of a transitive verb. The alienable genetive denotes seperable possession of something (like money, or a sword); while the inalienable genetive is used for things that are inseperable from something (without damaging it), such as parts of the body, blood relatives, or skills like intellect (though these vary  in what is considered 'alienable'). The stative case has a wide range of meaning, and can function as an essive ('as X'), a locative ('in X' - where X is a place), or even simply as a topic marker when beginning a sentence ('concerning/with regards to X').

The numbers are singular and plural, with a dual form in two declensions. The genders are masculine and feminine, as dictated by the final letter of the word - if the word ends in 'e','i','í','u' it is feminine, and all others are masculine.

The first declension is for masculine nouns ending in vowels, and declines like so, where the added vowel is derived from row 1 of the final vowel. It is one of two declensions that exhibits the dual form of nouns. The second declension is for masculine nouns ending in 'hard' consonants: 'k','g','t','d','b','p','v','f','x','gh'. The final vowel is repeated, but if it is a diphthong the appropriate long vowel is used (e.g. aw->u : ëdawg -> ëdawgu_). The third declension is for masculine nouns ending in 'soft' consonants: 'r','s','z','l','sh','zh','n','m','w','y'. The final vowel is repeated, but if it is a diphthong the appropriate long vowel is used. Also, before the 't_n' ending, 'm's mutate to 'n's. The fourth declension is for feminine nouns, ending in 'í','i','u','e'. This declension has a dual number in it. The final vowel is repeated, but if it is a diphthong the appropriate long vowel is used. The fifth declension is for masculine nouns ending in a 'hard' consonant, which also have a short vowel and single consonant (not cluster) before it. In the plural the short vowel drops out, and the equivalent long vowel is added to the end of the word and is it declined as though it were singular. The sixth declension is for masculine nouns ending in a 'soft' consonant, which also have a short vowel and single consonant (not cluster) before it. The seventh declension is for masculine or feminine nouns ending in a vowel or diphthong followed by a soft consonant and another vowel or diphthong. The plural form is made by duplicating the final syllable. Verbs
