Haha, I just came up with a nasty way of introducing genders, but it
will make the language *very* strange: copy the articles from German.
You could keep the gender distinction of German *and* the unit class
distinction of Japanese.  (Of course, a few gender and class shifts
should've happened, too, in order to make it a bit more spicy).
That'd make the language really complicated. :-)

Yes, messy it would be!  I like that.

Ignore me... :-)
