Nouns - Blimtce
Gender - Plíem
Nouns are either human or neuter. Neuter encompasses everything that is not human. The main difference between the genders is how they interact with modifiers (numerals, adjectives, etc). Human nouns have a singular and plural form, while neuter nouns don’t. When counting neuters a counter word must be used, but not for human. The plural form of human nouns is formed by adding the suffix -e:
An Pádar - one father
An-jun Sémor - one sheet of paper (jun is the counter for flat objects)
Bit Scápore - two teachers
Bit-kun Pétcor - two cups (kun is the counter for vessels for liquids)
Páve Pádare - three fathers
Páve-jun Sémor - three sheets of paper
