Halel features 7 genders, each with a negated form. The genders each refer to a god, and a person's gender is defined by what god they're a follower of. This is often geographical, as certain areas follow certain gods, etc.
Modern Halel, a daughter language, has a much simpler gender set, as it's derived from just one of Halel's genders, a long with a little influence from 
Slilvre, due to cultural ties.- Twilight ("Twilight, Windows, and Art"): ending for personified nouns
Because of the wide variety of homynyms in Halel, understanding how endings change the meaning is extremely important.
Generally speaking, the gender of a word is not dependent on its phyical properties and characterisistics. However, it has been known to be utilized as such in poetry.
Halel features 7-14 genders (7 sets of 2 gender pairs), and pronouns must agree with them. However, there's no masculine or feminine or even neutral gender, so the convention for translating gendered pronouns (to Halel) is as follows:
- Feminine: Colors, gender 11 or 12 (when negated)
- Masculine: High Things, gender 13 or 14 (when negated)
- Neuter: Uncharted, gender 3 or 4 (when negated)
Of course, most nouns being referred to with pronouns do not have this issue, and people who speak Halel prominently will most likely have picked a set for themselves.
