===Nouns===


Nouns are considered to fall under the categories Concrete and Abstract, to which there are a number of subcategories. Note that there is no grammatical gender preassigned to a given noun. Certain things will take on a gender based on certain implications and information given, such as a dog known to be biologically female. But simply a dog in general will have no gender. Gender neutrality is denoted by noun ending in "-è", where a male noun will end in "-ù" and a female noun will end in "-ì." Nouns with an inherently genderless nature, such as a rock, simply end in any voiced fricative.
