Noun declension

Nouns are declined in case and number by adding the following endings to the base form of the noun:

	1st class			2nd class
	singular	dual	plural	singular	dual	plural
agentive	-liw	-hiwliw	-nuliw
passive	-	-hiw	-nu	-	-hiw	-nu
ablative	-šu	-hiwšu	-nušu	-šu	-hiwšu	-nušu
genitive	-rɛ	-hiwrɛ	-nurɛ
dative	-xjɛ	-hiwxjɛ	-nuxjɛ	-xjɛ	-hiwxjɛ	-nuxjɛ
causative	-ku	-hiwku	-nuku	-ku	-hiwku	-nuku
instrumental1				-kjɛ1	-hiwkjɛ1	-nukjɛ1

¹ These forms are deemed as obsolete and rapidly vanishing from current usage.

Some examples are shown below: a 1^st class noun, papu, father, and a 2^nd class noun, sṓgo, house.

	papu		sṓgo
	singular	plural	singular	plural
agentive	papuli	papunoli

instrumental			sṓgokhɑ	sṓgonokhɑ
abessive			sṓgogil	sṓgonogil
locative			sṓgotsar	sṓgonotsar

As for the rules, the endings for the secondary oblique cases cannot be added to a 1^st class noun, while the endings for the primary main cases cannot be added to a 2^st class noun.
