Teop nouns #

This file records the noun classes of Teop (Oceanic, Bougainville), the articles that mark them, and nouns of each class.

A Teop noun belongs to one of three classes, named by the article it takes in the singular, e, a or o. The article also marks number. An adjective or numeral agreeing with the noun takes an article that distinguishes only two classes, and Mosel and Spriggs call these genders I and II, with the e- and a-classes as the subgenders I-E and I-A of gender I. A body-part term takes the a-class article when possessed and the o-class article otherwise.
