Some nouns, even if they end with a consonant, follow the vowel conjugation pattern. In this case their last consonant undergoes palatalization, except for the nominative and genitive in the singular, and for all cases in dual. If there is a long vowel, when palatalization occurs, the vowel gets short.
krís = king | |||
---|---|---|---|
Case | Singular | Plural | Dual |
Nominative | krís | krišy | kríset |
Genitive | krísu | krišu | krísetu |
Dative | kriša | krišay | krísetu |
Accusative | kríswo | krišoy | kríset |
Instrumental | krišen | krišeyn | krísetyn |
Locative | krišot | krišyt | krísec |
Adlative | krišás | krišýs | krísetu |
Delative | krišád | krišýd | krísetyn |
If a noun already ends with -u, the genitive ending in the singular melds with this vowel and becomes -ú.
