These three hard consonants don't sit comfortably next to a bright -i-и. They shift to softer cousins — c, z, sц, з, с — that match the vowel better.
A stem that ends in two consonants slips an -a-а between them before the ending: sister → of sisters, letter → of letters. A handful of nouns instead keep an old -iju-ију in place of -a-а: eyes, ears, guests, fingers.
When the feminine singular ending -i-и lands on a stem ending in kк, gг, or hх, those hard consonants shift to c, z, sц, з, с — softer sounds that sit better next to the -i-и.
In the masculine singular only, the accusative splits by whether the noun is alive. Living things (people, animals) take -a-а — the same shape as the genitive. Inanimate things take -∅-∅ — the nominative form, unchanged. So you reuse two endings you already know.
When you address someone whose word ends in kк, gг, or hх, those consonants shift to their soft cousins — č, ž, šч, ж, ш — before the -e-е ending. The hard sounds soften because you're calling, not stating.
If the word already ends in a soft consonant — c, ć, č, đ, dž, j, lj, nj, š, žц, ћ, ч, ђ, џ, ј, љ, њ, ш, ж — adding a soft -e-е on top would feel doubled. The ending switches to -u-у instead.
Common nouns take -o-о. Personal names normally stay unchanged when you call them, and diminutives in -ica-ица switch to -e-е. Putting -o-о on a name sounds formal or folkloric.
The round -om-ом feels heavy when it follows a soft consonant (c, ć, č, đ, dž, j, lj, nj, š, žц, ћ, ч, ђ, џ, ј, љ, њ, ш, ж). It thins to -em-ем so the word stays balanced — soft consonant, soft vowel.
The Locative singular ending for feminines is -i-и — exactly the same as Dative. Same ending, same softening: k, g, hк, г, х become c, z, sц, з, с when they meet it.
