Valdyan first and second pronouns have a subject form and an object
form; all other pronouns have only one form. Dual and plural are done
with prefixes.
Nouns (and adjectives, the same thing in Valdyan) are much more
inflected than pronouns, though with successive vowel shifts cases
have been conflated (there are fewer cases now than, say, five
hundred years ago).
