OF NOUNS.

A Noun is the name of any person, place, or thing; as, Eneneh, man;
Kahdahnahqueeng, Kingston; metig, tree.

Nouns are of two sorts, Common and Proper.

Common Nouns stand for kinds containing many sorts, or for sorts
containing many individuals under them; as, Ahwaseeh, animal; eneneh,
man; kegownh, fish; penaseh, bird.

Proper Nouns are the names appropriated to individuals, as, Charles,
Cazenovia, Ganges. [N.B. Proper names, with a few exceptions, are the
same as in English.]

To Nouns belong gender, person, number, and case.

GENDER.

Gender is the distinction of nouns with regard to sex.

Nouns have three genders, the masculine, the feminine, and the neuter.

The masculine gender denotes males; as, Eneneh, man.

The feminine gender is applied to animals, fishes, and birds; as,
Nahbak, a she bear, &c.

The neuter gender denotes things without sex; as, Wewahquon, a hat.

NUMBER.

Number is the distinction of objects as one or more.

Nouns are of two numbers, the singular and the plural.

The singular number implies but one object; as, Mahzenahegun, a book.

The plural number implies more than one; as, Mahzhenahegahnun, books.

CASE.

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

The nominative case simply expresses the name of a thing, &c.;
as, Owh quewesanceoobahkahmegezeh, the boy plays.

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.

word; as, Pahpenatum eneneh, the man is happy; Pahpenatum, he is happy.

PERSONAL PRONOUNS.

There are three personal pronouns, viz. Neen, I; keen, thou; ween, he;
with their plurals, Nenahwind, we; kenahwah, ye or you; wenahwah, they.
