Working on nouns for 'Goblin Town' (provisional name), and I think that instead of doing some complicated thing trying to guess the articles and the plurals, I should just set them for each noun (so "a cat", "some cats", "an egg", etc)

Although maybe I should also think about the kinds of places that I'm going to find nouns (and it's when I'm outputting lines like "{subject} {verbs} {article} {noun}") (and the article is going to depend on context, "You smile at the bat" vs "You hear a bat in the distance").

Definite article is always 'the', indefinite isn't regular enough for easy rules ("if it starts with a vowel sound then use 'an'" is great, except I haven't found a easy to check for vowel sound types yet), however can just tag nouns as 'a' type or 'an' type (idea: new Noun("a fish"), and then parse out the article at construction time).
