=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.


{| {{Table/bluetable}} style="text-align:center; vertical-align:middle"
! Feminine !! Masculine
|-
| i, 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:'''<br/>
*Feminine "i, e"
*Masculine "a"
''Examples:''<br/>
fjag "animal" > fjagec "animals"<br/>
arin "star" > arinic "stars"<br/>
anad "gift" > anadac "gifts"<br/>
aga "eye" > agac "eyes"<br/>
esk "cube" > eskic "cubes"<br/>
==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 > i
*e > ei, ai
''Examples:''<br/>
sar "island" > sir "islands"<br/>
ðeg "book" > ðeig "books"<br/>
ghoþ "scripture" > gheþ "scriptures"<br/>
kek "place" > kaik "places"<br/>
'''Article Agreement'''<br/>
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:''<br/>
vadas "body of water" -> vadasfen "waters"<br/>
del "wind gust" -> delfen "wind"<br/>
