Returns suggested declensions for a name. In the Russian language, nouns (including proper names) take different form based on their usage in a sentence. When the player enters the base name for a character or pet, the game suggests one or more sets of variations for the five additional cases; the player is asked to choose from among the suggestions and/or enter their own. (The set of declensions ultimately chosen/entered by the player are only used internally and not available to addons.)

Has no effect in non-Russian-localized clients.
