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, and the last phoneme can be either a consonant or a vowel: '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' (notice how the last vowel either becomes 'a', or it is added after a consonant).
