Slight changes.
Gender 4 is now defined as "Animal associate with people". I'd had that
idea for a while, a slight revision from "domestic animal". Note that
this includes *non*domestic animals associated with people as well, such
as rats and mice, since they live in people's houses.
Gender 6 has different forms. Singular is u- except before a <u>, in
which case it's lost. Thus, u-bizí (tree), u-iazá (period of time),
u-ifkál (book), but 0-uián (judgement), 0-uilasiviása (mature, gender
6), 0-útta (major storm). Plural if uf- in all cases, thus ufbizíi,
ufiazái, ufifkáli, ufuiáni, ufilasiviásai (fuV -> fV), ufútti (irregular
plural)
