Declension

Gothic is an inflectional language, meaning its nouns, adjectives, verbs, and pronouns change slightly in order to convey a different meaning based on their position in the sentence and semantic significance. Gothic nouns, adjectives, and pronouns undergo a process called declension, which is simply when the end of the word changes.

Gothic nouns can change based on case. These are only retained in English through pronouns, and nouns in the genitive case. Here is a sentence to explain the cases:  He kicked my cat at the park . These are general outlines of the uses of each case, but there may be other uses. Verbs are not limited to taking the accusative case; some take the genitive, dative, and even the nominative (such as the linking verbs wisan, to be, and waírþan, to become). There is also a vocative case, used for when the speaker is calling someone or something (such as, if one were to be calling John, they would say "John!", which is in the vocative case).
 * He is in the nominative case. (The subject of a sentence, the one doing the action)
 * my is in the genitive case. (Possession, or the object of the pronoun "of")
 * Cat is in the accusative case. (Object of the verb)
 * The park is in the dative case. (Object of the preposition)

Gothic nouns and adjectives have stems. The stems are rooted in etymology, and affect the endings of the noun in all cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, and vocative).

The stems are as follows:

a-stems
Gothic a-stems may be masculine or neuter in gender. Masculine a-stems end in -s (except when the stem ends in s, such as freihals, or if it is a short stem and ends in r, such as waír). Neuter a-stems usually do not have a noun ending.
