The problem is that I don't know how flexible the translating options are, for example is it possible to store more than one version of things like "a man in his twenties" and such? since with correct grammar both the descriptive word ("parikymppinen") and the main word ("mies") would be declinated in some cases. For example, the exact translation for "you see a man in his twenties hurt a woman in her twenties" would go "näet parikymppisen miehen vahingoittavan parikymppistä naista". If we use a different structure that includes the word "how", "näet kuinka parikymppinen mies vahingoittaa parikymppistä naista", that allows keeping the subject in it's basic form, but there's still no fluent way of keeping the object in it's basic form.
Naturally with dynamic naming, all that can be done is adding a suffix in the end of the name - in some cases it will be correct, in others not. Many cases would require dropping or changing letters in the middle of a word and I doubt that's possible in any easy way. So the best way is to use sentence structures that have the variable words in the most simple form possible.
Yesterday I wrote a list of the animal names, though yeah, I should concentrate on the most visible things. The only thing I wasn't sure about is the scarab, my therapist and my mom have both used the word "scarabe" but I think it has a plain Finnish name. But what ever the word, it's still gonna give the wrong impression since Cantrian scarabs are friggen huge, judging from the amount of shell you get.

*) Even though the word "inventaario" is generally understood, it's a foreign loan word. In my opinion, something like "belongings" or "your own items" would be more clear in expressing that these are the things you're holding, which might make people realize the external nature of the objects tab.
