Noun Declensions:
This language has two genders: Common and Neuter
The common nouns use the -en article
The Neuter nouns use the -et article
Examples of regular declensions:
Gender:
Common:
[Indefinite Singular]
En Pík (girl)
En Käke (cake)
En Hvínde( Woman)
En Égeðe (spoon)
[Indefinite plural]
Píke
Käker
Hvínder
Égeðer
[Definite Singular]
Píken
Käken
Hvínden
Égeðen
[Definite Plural]
Píkene
Käkene
Hvíndene

[Indefinite plural]
Äppler
Líser
Sénkseler
[Definite Singular]
Äpplet
Líset
Sénkselet
[Definite Plural]
Äpplerne
Líserne
Sénkselerne
-Neuter Monosyllabics are unchanged in plural. Other nouns take either -e or -er. Otherwise there is little correspondence between declension and gender or sense and gender.
-if the final ends in the following: -el -e -en -er will disappear if a grammatical ending with an -e
the delension 'Sénksel'
Examples of irregular delensions:
Common:
en männ/männen/mænn/ménnene (man)
en bâne/bânen/búner/búnerne (Farmer)
en drínk/drínken/drínks/drínksene (drink)
en sten/stenen/sten/stenene (stone)
Neuter:
et barn/barnet/børn/børnene (child)
et hús/húset/húse/húsene(house)
et våppen/våppenet/våben/våppenene (weapon)
-Some have the "Incorrect" regular form, some have vowel change with or without a suffix, and some are forreign words using their native plural. In all cases it is only the plural indefinite that is irregular. Singular definite always just adds -en or Plural definite adds -ne to the indefinite if it has a standard plural suffix, -ene if not.
some words don't follow this way of pluralization and follow a different pattern.
