Standard Azurian has three cases, the nominative, which is used for the subject and direct object of a sentence, the dative, which is used for indirect objects and after certain prepositions, and the genitive, which is used to mark possession or origin, and after certain prepositions. The genitive is very sparsely used in today’s language. Instead, prepositional phrases are used.
The main noun classes are the masculines, the feminines and the neuters. These all have a standard, so-called weak, inflection pattern, which applies to a majority of the nouns.
