+# 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.
