==== Noun Case ====

In Azkali, nouns are marked for any of 6 noun cases. Generally, they follow these forms (using the word ''Eche'' - house as an example). In the past, Azkali used ''many'' more cases, but nowadays (except in the Turruist Azkali register) only these main 6 are used.

In the past, Azkali used ''many'' more cases, but nowadays (except in the Turruist Azkali register) only these main 6 are used. The following chart is a table showing the "nuclear forms" of Azkali cases. These can occasionally change their forms, though most often via the addition of a vowel to eliminate consonant clusters.

The dative case can also be used as the '''possessee case'''; the two are entangled in a single affix. Some grammars and linguists disagree with the entaglement, but this article will treat them as one affix.

The '''nominative case''' is used to mark the subject of a verb. The '''accusative case''' is used to mark the patient of the verb. The '''possessive case''' is used to mark direct ownership. The '''dative case''', also used as the '''possessee case''', marks the recipient of the verb and the object of which is possessed by the noun that is marked with the possessive case. The '''privative case''' is used to mark the lack of the possession of the marked noun. The '''ablative case''' is used to mark movement away from the noun.
