Gevey: Nominal Categories: Sex-based and Non-sex-based Gender Systems: Non-sex-based
Gevey divides nouns into classes based on an animacy hierarchy: » 'causative' nouns - people, animals, spiritual entities, physical (often cataclysmic) natural events, some body parts, emotions » 'applicative' nouns - everything else The sexual gender of a noun, if required, can be demonstrated by adding a gender particle to the noun (or pronoun). Verbs and modifiers are not affected by the sexual gender of their subject or head noun
