The following heuristics are useful for determining the gender of inanimate ''{{big3}}agmì'' nouns:

# Nouns that have ''-a/-e'' in the nominative~~, such as~~ ''teanga''~~, are feminine.~~

# Nouns that have ''-a/-e'' in the nominative are feminine.

# ~~Certqain~~ classes such as country names are always feminine.

#* Example: ''teanga'' 'language"

# Most Irish feminine nouns that take ''-e'' or ''-a'' in the genitive singular~~, such~~ as ''creic{{cda}}e'' 'booty, prey' (gen. sg. of ''creach'') ~~are borrowed in their genitive singular forms as feminine nouns.~~

# Certain classes such as country names are always feminine.

# Most ''-t'', ''-t{{cll}}'' and ''-ad{{cda}}/-ed{{cda}}'' nouns are feminine and are borrowed in their nominative singular forms.

#* Example: ''er{{cll}} F{{cda}}rainc'' 'France'

# Most Irish feminine nouns that take ''-e'' or ''-a'' in the genitive singular are borrowed in their genitive singular forms as feminine nouns.

#* Example: ''creic{{cda}}e'' 'booty, prey' (gen. sg. of ''creach'')

# Most ''-t'', ''-t{{cll}}'' and ''-ad{{cda}}/-ed{{cda}}'' nouns are feminine and are borrowed in their nominative singular forms, sometimes with lenition.

#* Example: ''smac{{cda}}t{{cll}}'' 'rule, dominion'

# Most other inanimate Irish nouns are masculine and are borrowed in their nominative singular forms.
