===Nouns=== | |||
====Gender==== | |||
Sast nouns belong to one of four genders: | |||
* Inanimate - Objects that seem to contain no form of life, like stone. | |||
* Feminine - Animate objects that seem feminine in nature, such as women, or doors. | |||
* Masculine - Animate objects that seem masculine in nature, such as men, or lighthouses. | |||
* Spiritual - Both objects that seem to be supernatural in nature and abstract nouns belong to this gender. Examples being love, fire, or deities. | |||
Nouns inflect differently based on gender, and verbs inflect for the gender of the subject. | |||
