Introduction to Wistrish nouns

Wistrish nouns are highly inflectable, and all Wistrish inflection paradigms are based on the Gothic framework. Nouns have gender (masculine, feminine, neuter), which is, like in German, Slavic languages and Romance languages (like Spanish) assigned to every noun and should mostly be memorized when learning vocabulary. Masculine and neuter nouns can also be animate (mostly humans and animals) and inanimate (everything else).

Wistrish nouns are declined in numbers (singular, dual, plural) and cases (quite a bit of them). Any pair of number-case has its own ending: a suffix attached to the end of noun which displays what number and case the noun is. Each noun belongs to some inflection group, which dictates what set endings the noun uses.

Wistrish nouns (by their inflection group) can be divided into three major inflection supergroups: strong (declension is not centered around a specific consonant), weak (declension is centered around an 𐌽, which is not present in the nominative singular) and consonant stem (declension is centered around a consonant, which is present in all cases). Besides these three main groups, there also is a minor static consonant group, which is conjugated similarly to strong and to some degree consonant stem nouns.
