====Nouns====
Gothevian nouns decline for two cases ([[w:direct case|direct]], [[w:dative case|dative]]), three genders ([[w:Grammatical gender|masculine]], [[w:Grammatical gender|feminine]], [[w:Grammatical gender|neuter]]), two numbers ([[w:Grammatical number|singular]], [[w:Grammatical number|plural]]), and two states ([[w:definiteness|indefinite]], [[w:definiteness|definite]]). The original Gothic four cases in nouns synchronized into two cases (nominative-accusative → direct; dative-genitive → dative), and the six strong declensions levelled into three declension, largely correlating with the three genders. The weak declensions were re-analyzed as indicating definiteness and were subsequently joined with the indefinite strong declensions.
=====Masculine declension=====
This declension is completely made up of masculine nouns. It came about from a merger of nearly all of the Gothic strong declensions except for the [[w:Gothic_declension#The_-ō_declension|-ō declension]], which is the predecessor to the feminine declension.

=====Feminine declension=====
This declension is completely made up of feminine nouns. It evolved directly from the Gothic [[w:Gothic_declension#The_-ō_declension|-ō declension]]. As such, all feminine nouns that originally belonged to the -ō declension alongside later-derived nouns end with {{lang|gthv|sc=Gthv|-y}} (-y ← -a). All [[w:Gothic_declension#The_-ōn_declension|-ōn declension]] and [[w:Gothic_declension#The_-ein_declension|-ein declension]] nouns later transitioned into Gothevian feminine declension nouns, gaining the {{lang|gthv|sc=Gthv|-y}} (-y) ending as well. A small subset of feminine nouns however lacks the ending.

======Anomalous feminine declension======
A closed class of feminine nouns declines according to the masculine declension instead of the feminine declension. This is the result of the Gothic [[w:Gothic_declension#The_-i_declension|-i declension]] and [[w:Gothic_declension#The_-jō_declension|-jō declension]] ultimately merging into the Gothevian masculine declension, with the feminine nouns of those declensions adopting the same endings.
