The Nouns

We can normally see in a language two main parts named Nouns and Verbs. Noun is a name of a thing, a person or a place. When we study nouns we have to study their grammatical Genders, Numbers, Persons and Cases too. Those are-

Genders (3)- Liṅga

i. Pulliṅga                   - Masculine Gender    (males)                        eg- Nara-        man

ii. Itthiliṅga                 - Feminine Gender      (Females)                    eg- Latā-         vine

iii. Napuṃsakaliṅga   - Neuter Gender          (Inanimate things)      eg- Pupphaṃ- flower

Notice here that these genders are grammatical. So, all inanimate things are not neuter. For example TREE is Masculine, WISDOM is feminine. Just as, we should know this method according to the usage in Pali.
