There are 6 noun cases in Kиipƒi, some with 'uncommon' names:
Nominative - standard form of a noun, really used rarely, eg. 'He is called CAT'.
Subjective - used with noun when it acts as a subject, eg. 'CAT went upstairs'.
Posessive - used as Genitive, eg. 'MONKEY'S fur'.
Objective - when nouns are used as objects, and their state changes, eg. 'He crashed with CAR'.
Temative - when there's no subject or very abstractive IT subject(eg. describing with BE or when using imperative) eg. 'YOU are stupid', 'Let PEOPLE clean'
sUbstantive - mainly used as place markers, definition is when nouns are used as objects, and their state doesnt change), eg. 'I'm going to HOUSE'.
[edit] Noun declination
The declination depends on 2 facts about the Nominative of a noun. First, its gender. Whether is it masculine or feminine. Then, it depends on the second from end letter of the Nominative(for feminine) or on last letter of Nominative(for masculine). For feminine the special letter is N, and for masculine it's R.
| Feminine declination with N, eg. ana | ||
|---|---|---|

[edit] Special nouns
As so, the few special nouns indicate abstract things. They can be subjects, objects, or so on. They declinate regularly, but they don't have plural forms(make plural of weather, go on, and see if it makes any sense)
Er Bizn - The Weather noun(eg. IT's going to rain)
Er Man - The General/Obligative noun(eg. Man darf nicht rauchen)
Er Timt - The Situation/Time noun(eg. IT's 4 o'clock)
