Genders. A gender is a pair of noun classes in which a noun stem occurs; a gender is also a single noun class in which a noun stem exclusively occurs. A two-class gender is a pairing of singular/plural forms. The major pairs of noun classes are: class 1/2 nnúúme/valúúme man class 3/4 nnáandi/miláandi tree class 5/6 liváála/maváála shoulder class 7/8 chipúúla/vipúúla knife class 9/10 ing’oómbe/ding’oómbe cow class 11/10 lutáávi/dináávi branch class 12/13 katáávi/tutáávi little branch The gender of class 1/2 almost exlusively contains nouns indicating human beings; one noun is found in this gender indicating ‘animal’: nkóoko/vakóóko, another one, indicating ‘rat’ probably belongs to class 1: nkúule. For other two-class genders, the semantic notions are less clear-cut, except for class 12/13 which are diminutives. Augmentatives are derived by making use of class 5/6 (for examples of diminutives and augmentatives, see 4.1 and 4.5.1).
