Austronesian Hebrew/Nouns

A noun is a member of a large, open lexical category whose members can occur as the main word in the subject of a clause, the object of a verb, or the object of a preposition.

AH nouns inflect for case, number and state. They are of one of two genders, though many nouns frequently are of both genders.
