Grammar
Nouns
Gender
Sast nouns belong to one of four genders:
- Inanimate - Objects that seem to contain no form of life, like stone.
- Feminine - Animate objects that seem feminine in nature, such as women, or doors.
- Masculine - Animate objects that seem masculine in nature, such as men, or lighthouses.
- Spiritual - Both objects that seem to be supernatural in nature and abstract nouns belong to this gender. Examples being love, fire, or deities.
Nouns inflect differently based on gender, and verbs inflect for the gender of the subject.
