Nouns and Gender

The Мэдӥӥ language possesses a system of declensions that decline based off of gender; there are (roughly) four gender classes; Masculine, Feminine, Neuter, and Ambiguous.

Ambiguous Or Neuter?

The ambiguous category largely is assigned to hypothetical people who could be of either gender, or used to reference groups of nouns that contain any mix of two of the other three categories: masculine, feminine, or neuter.

Meanwhile, neuter is used far more sparingly than the other three categories. Neuter, when not in reference to non-binary individuals, is used to reference only a few nouns, though some words with less-obvious base declensions might be assigned neuter.

What is Masculinity and Femininity in Мэдӥӥ?

To the native mind, gender roles are flipped to what is expected of much of the western world. Women are stronger, women are fighters, women are expected to lead, (and while men are not expected to lead, they are still allowed to, though misandry is much more prevalent in other fields. Above all, intellectual respect is important. Often, the root word does not have marked gender. Due to this, the word's gender sometimes must simply be inferred either through context or through a look back to the noun's reference in the dictionary.
