# Ancient Netagin had an honorific distinction which required agreement in verbs and adjectives.

# In Late Ancient Netagin, the honorific developed into its own gender, often being used for big, sacred, specialized, or abstract things, in addition to people of high social status.

# The word for "lady", ''~~bīlan~~'', became the normal word for "woman" (like how ''Frau'', formerly "lady", became the normal word for "woman" in German).

# The word for "lady", ''bīlō'', became the normal word for "woman" (like how ''Frau'', formerly "lady", became the normal word for "woman" in German).

# Thus, the former honorific agreement analogized to all women and became the feminine gender.
