Easier, schmeasier :-)))) This is where you can have some real fun!!

Try setting up underlying (or historical) forms for your case endings, then
let sound changes work their magic. The result can be that any given ending
can have X allomorphs depending on how it interacts with the final V or C of
the stem... Ho ho ho. You can end up with forms for Case N that only
minimally resemble each other. Or a word stem that's different in every
case. And we thought nox :: noctis was hard to remember.
