What's the third? Either or?

Actually 4: male, female, plural, and "no gender", with 4 forms each...

Hebrew has gender, person and number built into every verb.

Number?

Singular, dual or plural.

Isn't something dual also plural? 2 > 1?

Many languages have these "oddities." In Japanese, you would say "pass the x pencil" and "pass the y ball", where x goes in front of things that are long and thin, like pencils, and y goes in front of things that are round, like balls.

So what would they put in front of one of those puffed up fishes, with the spindles?

Hmmmm... I guess that would be z, which goes in front of all words referring to objects that look like puffed-up spindally fish thingies.

Dual means just two, and plural means more than two. Dual is used for body parts that come in pairs, like hands and feet.

This is the AI engine forum and is supposed to be used for (duh) the AI engine. Not Hebrew.

Oh,well I guess one thing lead to another..

FYI botmaster the AI engine is concerned with the eccentricities of all languages (because it will be multi-lingual one day), so in actuality you have posted errantly
