Noun declension in Erytheian.
There are 5 declension patterns in Erytheian, depending on the root vowel.
First declension[]
Theme in -a. Example: colomba (pigeon).
| Case | Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|
| Nominative | colomba | colombe |
| Accusative | colombâ | |
| Ablative | colombî |
Second declension[]
The nouns in the second declension have a theme in -o. There are, however, three models: one for nominative in -û (hortû, garden), one for nominative with no ending (vir, man), and one for former neutra with plurals in -a (belo, war).
| Type | Full nominative | Broken nominative | Former neutra | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Case | Singular | Plural | Singular | Plural | Singular | Plural |
| Nominative | hortû | horte | ve | vire | belo | bela |
| Accusative | horto | hortô | viro | virô | belo | bela |
| Ablative | horto | hortî | viro | virî | belo | belî |
Third declension[]
Theme in -i or consonant. The nominatives are most of the times deliberate, though the rest of the declension follows some patterns.
| Type | dô (theme in -c) | leo (theme in -n) | nomen (former neutrum) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Case | Singular | Plural | Singular | Plural | Singular | Plural |
| Nominative | dô | ducê | leo | leonê | nomen | nomina |
| Accusative | duce | ducê | leone | leonê | nomine | nomina |
| Ablative | duce | ducibû | leone | leonibû | nomine | nominibû |
Fourth declension[]
Theme in -u. It's being assimilated by the second declension, so it's not rare to find nouns from this one being declined as if they had a theme in -o.
| Type | frottû (fruit) | former neutrum, corno (horn) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Case | Singular | Plural | Singular | Plural |
| Nominative | frottû | frottû | corno | cornua |
| Accusative | frotto | frottû | corno | cornua |
| Ablative | frotto | frottibû | corno | cornibû |
Fifth declension[]

| Case | Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|
| Nominative | diê | diê |
| Accusative | die | diê |
| Ablative | die | diebû |
