Häskä morphology is roughly equally prefixing and suffixing. | |||
===Nouns=== | ===Nouns=== | ||
Häskä nouns have a natural gender system. Nouns denoting females or that end in the feminine suffix ''-u'' (after C) or ''-hu'' (after V) (from Proto-Lakovic *-s and the feminine verb marker ''*wa-'') are feminine. Inanimate nouns, and animals that are not dedicated words for males and females, can be used in both genders interchangeably. | |||
