Rinap: Difference between revisions

Three-gender system of Rinap includes masculine, feminine and a peculiar divine. Nouns ending with consonants are in the masculine 'wy'-class while feminine 'wi' nouns end with a vowel. The words are often altered so that they are placed to the 'right' gender class: 'wy mub' for 'a man' and 'wi nidi' for 'a woman'. Divine 'a'-gender indicates that the noun is of divine origin: 'a heran' is 'a god' and 'a ge' means 'a heart'. Fourth gender, 'Krai' or the high Divine, is a definite sub-class of divine and can be used to raise the importance of a word or to express the very essence of the noun: 'Krai Halla' is 'the Sungod Halla', the six elements such as 'Krai Nyraka' meaning 'the Element of Fire' and some essences such as 'Krai Nida' which means 'Femininity'.
