CASE.

Nouns have three cases, the nominative, the possessive, and the

objective.

The possessive case expresses the relation of property or possession,

and always ends with the letter _o_; as, Noosayo wegewaum, my father's

house.

The objective case expresses the object of an action or of relation;

as John owejeahn Charles, John assists Charles.

Nouns may be declined in the following manner:

Singular. Plural.

_Nom. Case_, Eneneh, man. Enenewug, men.

_Poss. Case_, Eneneho, man's. Enenewugo, men's.

_Obj. Case_, Eneneh, man. Enenewug, men.
