Nominal

Ravna nouns have two genders: animate and inanimate. Animate nouns usually end in vowels, while inanimate nouns often end in consonants. Proper names are obviously exceptions. Genders of the nouns also inflects on articles, numbers, verbs, and adjectives related to the noun.

There are four cases:

• nominative: used for topic and subject of the sentence.
• accusative: used for direct object of the sentence
• dative: used for indirect objects of the sentence, as well as anything after a preposition
• genitive: signifying possession.

The inflections distinguish between singular (0 or 1), paucal (2 to 10), and plural (more or unknown). In paucal and plural nouns, the first vowel is umlauted if possible.

Some demonstratives has nominal morphology.
