 # Parts of Speech
 
 This chapter describe behaviors of different parts of speech that can't be just
-simply ported from German, mostly morphology.
+simply ported from French and German, mostly morphology.
 
 ## Noun
 
-While having the same number of cases and gender, Isanercent has less noun
-patterns compared to German (only four):
+Like French, Isanercent nouns has 2 genders and no cases.
+Isanercent has German-esque noun endings, but it works like French: only plural
+is marked with -(e)r.  If the noun is objects (whether
+<abbr lang="fr" title="complément d'objet indirect">COI</abbr> or
+<abbr lang="fr" title="complément d'objet direct">COD</abbr>), it gains an
+extra -n, similar to how German nouns work in accusative and dative case.
 
-- plosive ending (e.g. *ki Bǔt*, house)
-- sonorant and vowel ending (e.g. *ke Tann*, table)
-- fricative (e.g. *ka Münsch*, mouse)
+The noun's gender is the same as in German.
 
-In plural form, the first vowel is umlauted
+Compound nouns are also made by concatenation like in German instead of
+chaining with preposition.
 
-- plosive ending: add a schwa: *kuu Bütte*
-- sonorant ending: add an -en ending: *kuu Tännen*
-- fricative ending: add a -er ending: *kuu Münscher*

+|----------|-----------|----------|
+| singular | no prefix | -a       |
+| plural   | -(e)n     | -an      |
 
-Just like in German, those ending in -e and -er are weak and is added -n in
-dative case and accusative case, e.g. *kum Bütten*, *kur Münschern*.
