{{PAGENAME}} nouns are notable for inheriting the oldest version of the Proto-Semitic case system, the diptotic (two-case) system, with nominative singular ''-''Ø < {{recon|''-ъ''}} < PSem {{recon|''-u''}} and genitive singular ''-o'' < PSem {{recon|''-a''}}.

The case system has also been restructured along Slavic lines. The behavior of the accusative ~~case~~ and genitive ~~case are~~ identical to Slavic: accusative is identical to the genitive for animate masculine nouns and to the nominative otherwise, and objects of negative sentences take the genitive. The dative and instrumental/locative ~~was~~ formed by suffixing inflected forms of the prepositions {{recon|''la''}} 'to' and {{recon|''bi''}} 'with/by, in'.
