[[File:Fruwi_Genders.png|250px|thumb|left|Genders of Fruwi]] | |||
Fruwi has 4 genders, which may be better described as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animacy Animacy]. | |||
While most of the time meaning doesn't change drastically because of gender, words can change enough to be bad; for example, one of the words for friend, and the word or pet are the same except for the last vowel representing gender. | |||
The gender system is very similar to that of proto-fruwi. Until Fruwi, Names weren't Abstract, but were the class of the things they named. | |||
<!-- | There may be a fourth gender evolving in some dialects between the natural and derived, that includes minutes, events, locations, and the divine. | ||
* | |||
* | Notes on the Image; | ||
* | * The divine may be any gender except for Abstract. The divine is for stuff like gods, spirits, mythological creatures... | ||
* | * Naturalized means symbols; objectified abstract things <!--- insert Example ---> | ||
* | * "plants" also includes large Fungi | ||
* | * Minutes are tiny/microscopic things that move; They can be Either Natural or Derived Gender - also depends on dialect] | ||
* Events could mean holidays, meetings, thunderstorms, or similar | |||
* Animated means things that have been given souls, zoomorphized <!--- insert Example ---> | |||
* Personified is what it says; example: country-balls :D | |||
the 4 vowels for the genders are i, e, a, o | |||
* Naturalized, Animated, and Personified exist by just changing the gender suffix | |||
* When changing genders, you can not have middle ones; ex Ci, Ca, but no Ce, Co | |||
