	There are also slight differences per declension depending on the gender of the noun.		There are also slight differences per declension depending on the gender of the noun.

	===== -a declension =====
	The -a declension has contains two sub-declensions.		One interesting phenomenon of the declension system is that, verbs and adverbs are sometimes colloquially treated like nouns and are thus declined like ones. This only happens when they are preceded by a preposition. Consider the following examples:

			* ''Afar img'''e''', við sig seem ni njef'' - 'After today, we will never see each other again'
			In this sentence, ''imga'' 'today' is incorrectly treated like a noun and takes a dative ending. The proper way would have been to adverbalize ''imga'' and give a noun (so, ''imga'' 'today' should have become ''imzjijns dag'' 'today's day')
			* ''Inne ubaven'''s''', ufremoddem loggem!'' - 'In having fun, we forgot the clock [lost track of time]'
			In this sentence, ''ubaven'' 'to have fun' is incorrectly treated like a noun and takes a genitive ending. The proper way would have been to use a participle (so, ''ubaven'' 'to have fun' should have become ''ubavendai'' 'having fun (pl.)'

			===== -s declension =====
			The -s declension has contains two sub-declensions. All of its nouns are masculine.
