===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. It is important to note that only ~~concrete nouns~~ can be ~~given~~ gender, and ~~abstract nouns cannot~~.

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 a consonant, most commonly a plosive, where a male noun will end in the vowel "-o" and a female noun will end in "-ì." Nouns with an inherently genderless nature, such as a rock, simply end in any voiced fricative. It is important to note that only Class I can be assigned a gender, and all others are gender neutral.

~~Concrete~~

* '''Class I''' Animate (Mammals, birds, reptiles, etc.)

* '''Class II''' Semianimate (Plants, microorganisms, bacteria, etc.)

* '''Class III''' Inanimate Natural (Rocks, wood, stuff of nature, etc.)

* '''Class IV''' Inanimate Unnatural (Tools, human-made things, etc.)

~~Abstract~~

* '''Class V''' Products of the Psyche (Emotions, morals, etc.)

* '''Class VI''' Undeniable Concepts (Happiness, ideas, etc.)

* '''Class VI''' Undeniable Concepts (Happiness, ideas, plans, etc.)

* '''Class VII''' Unknowns (Meaning of life, what's inside a black hole, etc.)
