Hyldian nouns can be divided into three gramatical genders; masculine, feminine and neutral. The gramatical gender often respond to the real gender of the noun if it has one. The word for man is hyira and of the masculine gramatical gender and the word for woman is nanyi and feminine. The noun can be inflected in three numbers (singular, dual and plural), and seven cases (nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, ablative, locative and instrumental). This all make large declension tables, but those tables are often very regular.
Many hyldian nouns changes its common case when it is inflected. For example the word for freedom is elba, but this word in plural would be elver. In the dictionary this will be spelled like this: freedom - elba; elv. In the first declension singular nominative, genitive, dative, accustative and ablative gets the common form, the rest will change it. In all the other declensions only the singular nominative as the unchanged common form. Not all nouns changes its common form.
