Gender
In Fey-Tongue, there are 2 basic grammatical genders (animate, inanimate). Nouns, reflexive pronouns, adjectives, and verbs are all gendered in that way. Singular third-person personal pronouns are further differentiated so that each gender is also declined among feminine, masculine, and neuter forms. Adverbs, articles, and demonstrative pronouns are ungendered.
