2. Check Pluralis if noun has only plural form.

3. Select gender from Genus:
In dictionaries there is always gender of a noun so just select from list whether is m. (masculinum), f. (femininum) or n. (neutrum).
4. Select declension to which a noun belongs
You have a choice to select either "Auto" or specific declension.
If you choose "Auto" then declension of a noun is automatically detected (recommended).
If you choose specific declension rather then "Auto" then noun will be checked for selected declension to ensure proper endings for noun.
5. Press SUBMIT button or Enter in field Nominativus, Genitivus
If all inputs are ok, then in table will be noun with all its endings for all cases.
It would state also to which declension noun belongs.
If all inputs are not ok, then it shows "Invalid input", so you must check all inputs again in order to work properly.
