Conjugations and declension of random words in the Kainuu dialect of Finnish. As much as I'd like to call it Kainuu language, it is a part of the Savonian dialects. Kainuu-Savonian?

These are just examples. Ortography decisions: Diphtongs might not always be as strong as written. The e in "ae" can sometimes be more between e and i. Some consonants in the dialect have the length of 1,5 consonants — longer than one, shorter than two. Those instances are marked with a smaller letter in superscript.

In a few parts, I used the declination according to "asija" (which is also used). This is because I don't want to invent any new words here, so if I didn't find a source for "assie" in specific declinations, I went with asija instead, which I know to be correct with certainty. Regardless of this, forms which I didn't use here, such as "assieiksi", might be correct.
