==== Abstract Nouns ====
All nouns in Weddish are inherently concrete.  Two levels of abstraction are possible through suffixation.  The first signifies the ''practice'' of one or more persons.  The second signifies the ''understanding'' of the practice.  Both are available in both genders, with the masculine form referring to a person (of either gender), however, the "practice"-form occurs much more often in the masculine and the "understanding"-form occurs much more often in the feminine.  Remember, this are no truly abstract nouns in Weddish, for they do not exist.
