There are words that can be used in both genders - ''šo bésuon'' "the son" and ''šen bésuon'' "the daughter" is a notable example. | There are words that can be used in both genders - ''šo bésuon'' "the son" and ''šen bésuon'' "the daughter" is a notable example. | ||
===Pronouns=== | |||
Cerian pronouns are simple, even though they are more complex than nouns, with four forms: nominative, accusative, genitive, and dative/oblique (post-prepositional). | |||

The 2nd person plural pronoun is also used as a courtesy form, albeit Evandorian Cerian is becoming less formal and allowing the use of ''sú'' in more contexts. For example, in Ceria is normal to use the 2SG pronoun when talking to a shopkeeper - in most other Cerian-speaking countries this is usually frowned upon. | |||
