Dalecarlian nouns

From UniLang Wiki

The noun is the name of an object (living or dead), feeling etc.: kall, kelling, rakki, vit, skíð, souð, gras (man, woman, dog, intelligence, ski, sheep, grass).

Normal nouns are common names for all things of the same kind, examples sun, kulla, engi, bý, lekk, flága, bát (son, girl, meadow, village, chain, spot, boat).<p> Proper nouns are used for something specific. Examples are people's names and place names: Anna, Jugåñ, Eliñ, Katríñ, Úláf, Eirk; Øfdaln, Vomos, Rót, Uksbjarg, Dalir (last one: Dalecarlia).<p> Nouns are divided into three genders: masculine, feminine and neuter:

• Masculine are all the words, that we can say han about ('he'),
• Feminine are all the words, that we can say hoñ about ('she'),
• Neuter are all the words, that we can say heð about ('it').<p>

Nouns are declined in numbers: singular and plural.<p> Nouns are also declined in cases: nominative, accusative, dative, genitive and - for the names - vocative.<p> Nouns are either indefinite or definite:

• Indefinite are the nouns, when you're not speaking of anything specific, but anyone: ein pojk, eiñ kulla, eit krýsi (a boy, a girl, a face),
• Definite are the nouns, when you're speaking of something specific: pojken, kullañ, krýsið (the boy, the girl, the face).<p>

Nouns are also divided into two main declinations: the strong and the weak declination. Strongly declined nouns don't follow any specific pattern in their lexical appearance, but all weakly declined nouns end with either -i or -a/-å.<p> All nouns end with -um in plural dative.
