Nouns
Nouns decline by definition, gender, case, and number

Case
Ungryk uses a large case system with sixteen cases. The case of the noun must agree to its gender. Cases are a mixture of prefixes and suffixes as many of them evolved from prepositions and postpositions in English. For example the masculine form of the locative case eit́ (e͡ɪtʼ)evolved from the English preposition at. Ungryk also uses case negation, attaching the negative prefix na (nɑ) can change the case's meaning to its opposite, for example the benefactive case becomes malefactive using na. This can be observed in the following two sentences
