| ==Nouns==
| |
| <br>
| |
| | |
| Dryŋmyṅ nouns are classified into two classes: the "human", and the "non-human".
| |
| Proper names of persons or gods, kinship terms, terms for occupations, terms for tools are classified as "Human". Plants, animals, all kinds of objects, natural geographical phenomena, abstract nouns are all classified as "non-human".
| |
| | |
| Therefore all nouns which refer to human beings or gods are human, while all other nouns are non-human.
