====Genders====
Perhaps the most major departure from Fén is that Cwengâr revives the masculine/feminine distinction of the older form, however, Cwengâr, it is the initial vowel and consonant which determine the gender. This has lead to a gender change in many inanimate objects as well as some alterations titles and names in order to preserve names.


Cwengâr bases masculine/feminine distinctions on the first vowel in a word, which modifies the preceding consonant of the word [if any] and the final consonant of the word preceding it.
The initial vowel and consonant also modify the final consonant of the preceding word in order to further emphasize it.
