Changes to Suffixes and Gender Markers

Since nouns end with "a", if you want to say "the ______" then you have to change the gender marker rather than the word.

For example, "the banana" in Chloquiana would be "banama" but in Chocquish, banama just means "banana."

So instead, you take these genders and add an -a or -o

"pe banama" becomes "pea banama"

"Wo babaga" becomes "Woa babaga"

But for "ta" which already ends with -a, you instead just add the a to the beginning of it, so it becomes "ata"

"Wo" ends in -o, so "a father" would NOT be "wo babagao" or "wo babagoa" or something like that. It'd be "Owo babaga."

For the modified gender markers (replacing the last letter because the next word starts with it) it's a little bit different.
