===Nouns and Gender===
Nouns in Asári are not inflected for gender, in keeping with Asári's simple grammatical concepts.  They are, however, inflected for number. 
There are three numbers in Asári, singular, dual, and plural.  All number inflection is done by conjoining a word before the noun.  ''teng'' is used for two fo something, and ''acia'' is used for any number over three.    Here is a chart showing the prefixed number markers for nouns in different numbers:
