	/a/ and /æ/ are both written as the same letter, a. However, /æ/ will often cause the next letter to double, such as in the words kalloch [kælox], sheep, to distinguish it from galoh [galoh], a kind of shoe. /i/ and /o/ are written i and o. /ɪ/ is written as y. /y/ is written as u. /e/ is written as ~~a diphthong ai, except at the end of a word, when it is written~~ e.		/a/ and /æ/ are both written as the same letter, a.

	Nouns		Nouns

			Nouns in Old Rennic declined by case and number. Plurals are made by taking the root of the noun, and adding u. So the word 'megath' [megaf], meaning rag or cloth, has the root meg-, and therefore the plural 'megu'. Nouns are also lenited in the plural if they come after a vowel, so the word 'fo kladda', the basin, would have the plural 'fo gladdu', the basins. There are five cases in Rennic: nominative, accusative, dative, and two forms of genitive case. In Old Rennic, the cases were more different; in modern Rennic it is often difficult to differentiate between cases in the singular form and prepositions are used.

			Singular Plural
			Nominative fo kaldo fo galdu
			Accusative ro kaldo ro galdi
			Dative an fo kalda an fo galda
			Genitive dwe kaldo dwi galdi
			Possessive fo kaldran fo galdran
