3.1 Nouns

3.1.1 Gender
All Arveunan nouns have a gender- either masculine or feminine. As a general rule,
all nouns ending in -át, -ion and -a are feminine and the rest are feminine.
Of course, there are quite a few exceptions.

3.1.2 Plurals
Generally, nouns form their plural by adding -s. However, the following exceptions apply:
 - nouns ending in -t or -d loose this and add -s: veritát "truth" -->
veritás, môut "sheep" --> môus.
 - nouns ending in -Vic, where V is any vowel, change the -ic to -sh and add
-es: nòic "night" --> nôshes, epeic "bishop" --> epeshes.
 - nouns ending in -c change the -c to -qu and add -es: abauc "apple tree" -->
abauques, fòc "fire" --> fôques
 - nouns ending in any other consonant add -es: cònt "count" --> côntes.

E souvein-te della veritát que se ja dissó,
                 And remember the truth that once was spoken,  

Amer un autre es veder le visaic de Deu.
        To love anonther person is to see the face of god.
