| =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.

| |
|
| |
|
| =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/>
| |
| *Neuter "i, o, y, e"
| |
| *Common "a, u, e"
| |
|
| |
| ''Examples:''<br/>
| |
| fjag "animal" > fjagec "animals"<br/>
| |
| aryn "star" > arynyc "stars"<br/>
| |
| anad "gift" > anadac "gifts"<br/>
| |
| aga "eye" > agac "eyes"<br/>
| |
| esk "cube" > eskyc "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 > y
| |
| *e > ei, ai
| |
|
| |
| ''Examples:''<br/>
| |
| sar "island" > syr "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/>
| |
| jo "night" -> jofen "nights" <br/>
