Declensions

There are three noun declensions in Drambenburgian, each with six noun cases. The declensions relate to a specific gendered language from Elder Drambenburgian which was lost in usage around the 3rd century CE. While the declensions are still considered gendered, the usage of gender no longer coincides with the gender of the person, place, or thing described by the Drambenburgian noun except in the instances of pronouns and proper nouns.

First and Second Declension Singular and Plural Cases

First and second declension nouns are all nouns ending in consonants.

The following is an example table of noun declension endings using the word of child/boy/girl in Drambenburgian, Kind.

Case 1st Declension Masc. 2nd Declension Neut. 1st Declension Fem.
Nominative Sg ho Kindos ho Kindo ha Kinda
Genitive Sg hoes Kindoes hoes Kindos has Kindas
Dative Sg ju Kingoj ju Kindj ja Kindaj
Accusative Sg to Kindon to Kindo ta Kindan
Ablative Sg fe Kindof fe Kindof fa Kindaf
Nom. Pl hos Kindes hos Kindos has Kindis

Acc. Pl ton Kindon ton Kindon tan Kindan
Abl. Pl fein Kindofin fein Kindof fain Kindafin

Drambenburgian Third Declension Nouns

Third declension nouns are all nouns whose root form ends in a vowel as opposed to a consonant. Root form should not be confused with lexical form which is the nominative singular form of the word; instead, root form is the word without a case ending present.

The following is the Drambenburgian third declension table using the word "tree" as an example. Unlike 1st and 2nd declension case endings, third declension does not require the definitive article to identify because the definitive article for third declension is "hiθ" regardless of the case.

Case 3rd Delcension Masc./Fem. 3rd Declension Neut.
Nom Sg Treos Treo
Gen Sg Treoos Treoos
Dat Sg Treoj Treoj
Acc Sg Treoa Treo
Abl Sg Treoσ Treoσ
Nom Pl Treoes Treoa
Gen Pl Treon Treon
Dat Pl Treosj Treosj
Acc Pl Treoas Treoa
Abl Pl Treoσj Treoσj
