As in many languages, Draenei words have three types: masculine, feminine and neuter. These should not be mistaken as necessarily referring to the gender of the object itself; a man's name may be inflected as a feminine word.
| Masculine |
|---|
| Case | Singular | Plural |
| Nominative | -os | -u |
| Genitive | -ou | -oun |
| Dative | -o | -uh |
| Accusative | -ol | -ul |
| Feminine |
|---|
| Case | Singular | Plural |
| Nominative | -ar, -a | -ei |
| Genitive | -as, -at | -is |
| Dative | -a | -ih |
| Accusative | -al | -il |
| Neuter |
|---|
| Case | Singular | Plural |
| Nominative | -al, -ad, -ath, -or | -i |
| Genitive | -as, -ou | -is |
| Dative | -a, -o | -ih |
| Accusative | -al,-ol | -il |
The vocative of all forms is a- or an- (in front of vowels) at the beginning of the word.
A full explanation of "case" and "declension" is outside the scope of this page. Wikipedia has a good series of articles on
Inflection and related terms.
