Häska nouns have a natural gender system. Nouns denoting females or that end in the feminine marker ''-u'' (after C) or ''-hu'' (after V) (from Proto-Lakovic *-s and the feminine verb marker ''*wa-'') are feminine. Inanimate nouns, and animals without dedicated words for males and females, can be used in both genders interchangeably.
