+This section concerns which forms exist for each category and not how to use them.
+That will be covered in the section [Parts of Speech](../pos/index.md).

+## Nominal
+
+Nominal declension is based on case, gender, and number, in order.  Each
+parameter is indicated by a phoneme, respectively consonant, vowel, and tone,
+effectively forming a syllable.
+
+### Case
+
+There are five cases:
+
+- **nom** nominative: s
+- **acc** accusative: n
+- **abl** ablative: t
+- **dat** dative: d
+- **gen** genitive: c
+
+There is also vocative case, which is unmarked, but this is rarely used.
+
+### Gender
+
+There are five genders, named after five phases in wǔxíng:
+
+- **wo** wood: a
+- **fi** fire: e
+- **ea** earth: i
+- **mt** metal: o
+- **wa** water: u
+- unknown/mixed: y
+
+### Number
+
+There are three numbers:
+
+- **sg** singular: level tone
+- **sv** several: falling tone
+- **pl** plural: rising tone

+## Verbal
+
+Verbal conjugation are decided by mood, tense, and aspect.
+Infinitive verbs all have the ending -zy, which is changed by conjugation.
+They are respectively indicated by a vowel, a tone, and a consonant.
+
+### Mood
+
+There are five moods:
+
+- **ind** indicative: a
+- **rit** ritual: e
+- **int** interrogative: i
+- **imp** imperative: o
+- **sub** subjunctive: u
+
+### Tense
+
+- **pst** past: falling
+- **prs** present: level
+- **fut** future: rising
+
+### Aspect
+
+- **hab** habitual: j
+- **cnt** continuous: r
+- **prf** perfective: unmarked
+
+### Gender
+
+In the ritual mood, another vowel representing verb's gender is added after the
+aspect consonant.  The vowel is the same as for nominal gender.
+Note that it is not uncommon to use ritual mood without gender, such as when
+insulting.
+
+The dictionary form shows this gender even though it is not in ritual mood.
