Morphology

Nouns

Nouns come in two genders: masculine and feminine. Inanimate objects can be used in both genders interchangeably. (The feminine derives from an older honorific form, as in Proto-Talmic.)

Nouns and adjectives are technically the same part of speech and TAM affixes on a noun must also appear on adjectives that modify it.
