Nouns
For each gender, there are four basic declension paradigms (that is declension models).
Note that many nouns (especially those following the paradigm chlap) have different endings then those of the paradigms in one or several grammatical cases. They are neither defined, nor listed in the following. The complete number of different paradigms for nouns is somewhere about 200.
A very small number of foreign nouns is not declined (that is the stem and ending never change).
