Coastal Marind gender #
This file records the four genders of Coastal Marind (Anim, South New Guinea), the forms of words that agree with them, and nouns whose form varies with gender, after Olsson.
Gender I holds male humans, gender II female humans and all animals, and genders III and IV
divide the inanimates. Demonstratives, a few adjectives and some postpositions agree by a
stem-final gender vowel, e, u, a, i for genders I–IV, with syncretisms particular to
each target. On these forms only genders I and II distinguish number
(injective_demonstrative_iff), and their plural is the singular form of gender IV
(Gender.pluralGender). The suppletive adjective 'small' distinguishes number in every gender
(injective_small), and on it the plural of genders I and II is gender IV's plural
(small_plural), so the affinity holds between the plurals. The demonstrative's two numbers
partition the genders crosswise (crossed_demonstrative), and together they separate all four
(faithful_demonstrative). A few nouns vary their stem vowel with
gender in the same way, and nanVh 'face' takes the gender of the one whose face it is,
Olsson's inherited gender.
Implementation notes #
- Number is a value of the singular-plural system.
- Demonstratives are segmented into their gender vowel and the stem, as in e-pe.
- The number-suppletive verb stems, which group gender IV with the animate plurals too, are not recorded.

Agreement patterns #
The distal demonstrative alone separates the four genders, I and III sharing e-pe only in the singular and I, II and IV sharing i-pe only in the plural ([Ols21] §5.1).
The gender whose singular form a gender's plural takes: gender IV, except that gender III does not distinguish number. Every vowel-alternating form realizes the plural of genders I and II as the singular of gender IV, the plural–gender IV affinity that [Ols21] §5.3.2 extends to number-suppletive verb stems.
