Cleepoyish
Etymology
From Old Cleepoyish -mæn, -mꜵn, from suffixed use of obsolete mꜵnn, mꜵnnoo, from Proto-Lesionic *mannō, from Proto-Germanic *mann-.
Pronunciation
Suffix
-män m or f (dative -mäni, feminine -män or -mänin)
- A suffix for deriving indefinite pronouns
- A suffix for deriving some agent nouns mostly from nouns
- A suffix for deriving epicene or unisex nouns
Usage Notes
- Words using this suffix are epicene by nature, though due to the lack of a specifically masculine derivation, they may inherently bias towards a masculine gender.
- Grammatically, words using this suffix are predominantly masculine, even with a non-masculine referent. Nevertheless, both masculine and feminine grammatical genders are officially accepted.
- A specifically feminine sense can be formed from either declining the noun as grammatically feminine, or by using the feminine suffix -mänin instead.
