Gender

Gender in Aol pertains to how nouns are declined and gender agreement for articles. Gender of a noun is defined by the vowel of the final syllable.

Neuter Feminine Masculine
i, y, o e a, u

Root Form

The definition of the Aol "root form" is the nominative singular form.

Plural Forms

Regular Plurals

Regular plural formation is used for the majority of words in Aol and is used for all words who have multiple syllables in their root form. The -c suffix is used for nouns ending in vowels and the -Vc suffix is used for nouns ending in consonants. For the -Vc suffix, the vowel depends on the gender of the noun.

-Vc Vowels:

  • Feminine "y, e"
  • Masculine "a"

Examples:
fjag "animal" > fjagec "animals"
aryn "star" > arynyc "stars"
anad "gift" > anadac "gifts"
aga "eye" > agac "eyes"
esk "cube" > eskyc "cubes"

Ablaut Plurals

Ablaut plurals are a much smaller subset of nouns. All ablaut plurals have a single syllable in their root form but not all single syllable root nouns are ablaut plurals.

  • o > e
  • a > y
  • e > ei, ai

Examples:
sar "island" > syr "islands"
ðeg "book" > ðeig "books"
ghoþ "scripture" > gheþ "scriptures"
kek "place" > kaik "places"

Article Agreement
Note that the gender of the plural form is the same as the root form.

Mass Plurals

Mass plurals are formed by adding the -fen suffix to the root form of the noun.

Examples:
vadas "body of water" -> vadasfen "waters"
del "wind gust" -> delfen "wind"
