undeclined
Lacking case endings
Undeclined describes a word that has not been altered to show grammatical case, number, or gender.
In languages like Latin or German, nouns and adjectives take different endings depending on their role in a sentence; an undeclined form remains in its base state.
The term also applies to something that has not been refused or rejected: an undeclined invitation.
