How do these work with other prefixes? With plural prefixes, the possessive suffix is used if there is no article: '''wydo niselivyd''', "[the] truth of concepts." Otherwise: '''paneht ilid niselivy''', "[the] strength of the concepts." | How do these work with other prefixes?

Teonaht once exhibited a morphology of gender, but that has been effaced by time. Nouns and articles do not reflect gender by themselves, whereas pronouns do. Animals, however, have a whole range of gendered categories expressed in an adjective that follows the noun; these vary according to the type of animal but are far from being consistent.
