Okay, so here's the deal.

There are seven different terminals for Chezian nouns: AE, O, E, Y, A, U, and a consonant. Nouns decline (that is, have case) in Chezian, like they do in German, or Latin. In fact, the cases are the same as they are in Latin:

  • Nominative [N] — The subject of a sentence, this is the raw dictionary form whose terminal dictates its terminal category.
  • Accusative [A] — The direct object of a sentence, that which is directed acted upon by the main verb
  • Dative [D] — This is the indirect object of a sentence, but specifically may only answer to whom or for whom (or what) the action of the sentence took place.
  • Genitive [G] — This is sometimes used to signal a possesor of a following noun (like the "'s" clitic in English). See also [-orka].
  • Ablative [B] — Unlike Latin, this is used with prepositions concerning movement away for "go"-paradigm verbs, and movement towards for "come"-paradigm verbs.
  • Locative [L] — This is a noun telling "where", but implies no movement.
  • Vocative [V] — This marks a noun being addressed (e.g., Fred in "Fred, when are you going to write something?")

half-cases

What's a half-case? Half-cases (some chezian word) or clitics, are suffixed to the nominative form of a noun, and do not themselves agree in terminal declension or number.

  • possessive (-orka) ["'s"]
  • comitative (-volo) ["with", manner]
  • prolative (-ensecon) ["by way of", "according to", "per", "pursuant"]


Ricazo adoensecon fae, ricazez kedensecon fae. each-abl ability-pr his, each-dat need-pr his. From each, according to his ability, to each, according to his need.
