<nomenu>Pkhen nouns have three classes: MASCMasculine (gender)
masculine or male, FEMFeminine (gender)
feminine or female and NEUUnknown code. Although these have no pattern in the structure of the word, the class can be indicated by the meaning of the word, eg: h̠ǽga'father = MASCMasculine (gender)
masculine or male, h̠ǽgaa'mother = FEMFeminine (gender)
feminine or female etc. You may notice that femenine nouns have a NOMNominative (case)
TRANS subject, INTR argument ending but this is only used formally and dictionaries do not use this.
Using this logic, guess what the following words' classes are:
zholéeboy ↺
zholaagirlfriend ↺
naqperson ↺
zhɛ́ɛoléfertility (pregnancy) ↺
