Tarkandamonian: Difference between revisions

Modern Tarkandamonian does not distinguish gender, although a masculine-feminine distinction existed up until the 15th century.  Masculine nouns were marked with the suffix -e-, whilst feminine nouns were marked with the suffix -i.  Traces of the old gender system in  Modern Tarkandamonian survive as irregularities in the number system, particularly in words indicating body parts and a few high-frequency or culturally significant words, where the original -i feminine marker surfaces (c.f. ''karan -> karandokon'' “hammers”, vs. ''baralt -> baraldokin'' “ears”).
