Nominal Morphology
Nouns can be one of the six main cases: Nominative, Accusative, Genitive, Dative, Instrumental, and Locative. Locative is a special form in that it is the only one formed with a prefix rather than a suffix and is usually irregular as it tends to distort the word it affects.
Genitive
The Genitive is usually formed by simply placing the suffix -ja on the end of any noun.
Dative
The dative is usually formed with an -em ending.
Accusative
This one tends to vary, it can either be an -a, a -i, or no ending.
Locative
The locative tends to distort the word it goes with by prefixing it with something like he-.
Particles
Below is a list of particles with an example provided in Nezauloð. Please note that in Old Nithalos, if the noun ended with a vowel, the short version was used (yik instead of ïk, yim instead of ïm etc). Please also note, that the Japanese particle or equivalent is also provided for comparison
