Ancient Ivetsian paradigms/nouns

Noun inflectional paradigms in Ancient Ivetsian were similar to those of the classical language, but there were several significant differences.

Gender-prefix paradigms

The most significant difference between Ancient Ivetsian and Classical Kasshian was the lack of plural gender prefixes. Thus many nouns had no variation in prefix at all

Hard consonant (non-nasal)

Example adjective: kuvas (same)

Gender	Form
I	chikuvas
II	nakuvas
III	sukuvas
IV	çikuvas
V	lakuvas
VI	wakuvas
VII	pikuvas
IX	tūkuvas

Nasal-initial

This paradigm differed from the regular hard-consonant paradigm only in gender IX. Example adjective: nesni (tall, high)

Gender	Form
I	chinesni
II	nanesni
III	sunesni
IV	çinesni
V	lanesni
VI	wanesni
VII	pinesni
IX	tonçesni

Inherently closed

This paradigm is equivalent to the consonant-dropping paradigm of Classical Kasshian. Unlike the Classical language, however, the etymological /a/ never appears.

Example adjective: ntama (serene)

Gender	Form
I	chentama
II	nantama
III	sontama
IV	çentama
V	lantama
VI	wantama
VII	pentama
IX	tontama

Long-vowel

This paradigm is equivalent to the ka- and ga-subtypes of the consonant-dropping in Classical Kasshian, being adjectives and nouns whose prefix inherently contains a long vowel

Example adjective: zhinu (red)

Gender	Form
I	chīzhinu
II	nāzhinu
III	sūzhinu
IV	çīzhinu
V	lāzhinu
VI	wāzhinu
VII	pīzhunu
IX	tūzhinu

Vowel-initial

There are slight differences between a-initial, i/e-initial, and u/o-initial adjectives. Example adjectives: assai (fast), ilutu (blind), oppazhasa (loving)

Gender	a-initial	i-initial	u-initial
I	tassai	chilutu	toppazhasa
II	nassai	nilutu	noppazhasa
III	sassai	shilutu	soppazhasa
IV	kassai	çilutu	koppazhasa
V	lassai	lilutu	loppazhasa
VI	wassai	wilutu	oppazhasa
VII	passai	pilutu	poppazhasa
IX	tukassai	tuçilutu	tukoppazhasa

L-initial

Example adjective: lapa (strong)

Gender	Form
I	trapa
II	nrapa
III	srapa
IV	klapa
V	lalapa
VI	walapa
VII	plapa
IX	tuklapa

Y-initial

Example adjective: yanali (honest)

Gender	Form
I	chanali
II	nyanali
III	shanali
IV	çanali
V	lyanali
VI	uyanali
VII	pyanali
IX	tuçanali

W-initial

Example adjective: waka (tired)

Gender	Form
I	paka
II	maka
III	swaka
IV	quaka
V	lwaka
VI	waka
VII	paka
IX	tuquaka

Case-number paradigms

Vowel-final

Paradigms differ slightly depending on final vowel, in addition to there being two subtypes of u-final nominals Example nouns: çimyala (cat), sukasshi (Kasshi), lasossu (snake), pinellu (bed), walai (stomach), tūjinau (deity)
