The case system

Iridian has a relatively simple system of nominal and pronominal declension. Nouns, pronouns and demonstratives are declined for each of the five grammatical cases. As Iridian nouns do not distinguish number and gender, a noun's case serves as the only basis for declension. The case endings are generally consistent and are based on the thematic ending of the noun's stem (i.e., it's unmarked form). There are seven declension paradigms in the language, each of which distinguishes between soft stems and hard stems (see section on palatalization).

Paradigm I: Nouns ending in -a

Paradigm II: Nouns ending in -e

Personal pronouns

Demonstratives

Interrogative and indefinite pronouns
