(I) ARTICLE. 
1. There is no Article in the BaalLgali corresponding with our 
Indefinite Article; when desirable the cardinal eo, one, can be used. 
(II) SUBSTANTIVES. 
2. The Substantive has two genders, masculine and feminine, but 
the rules regarding gender are not universally followed. Whether the 
varieties of gender are natural only, or grammatical as well, I cannot 
state positively. 
Some Nouns which appear feminine are as follows : — 
amu , 
house. 
khunzd, kunzd, 
princess. 
argru , 
ceiling. 
mioic , 
mouth. 
hasnd ) 
clothing. 
marol, 
stick. 
brum , 
lawn. 
parr, 
apple. 
burl , 
bread. 
pott, 
road. 
ddo , dar, 
wood. 
shu, 
rose. 
ddrl , 
beard. 
tokum, 
numda. 
gdo, 
cow. 
tus, 
chopped straw. 
9°h 
country. 
ushp, 
horse. 
ishtri , 
woman. 
yus, 
grass. 
jthu, 
hair. 
Adjectives ending in a, l, m, n, r, used with the above words, also 
tenses of verbs ending in l or a, undergo certain changes. This is not, 
however, universally the case. Some sentences of the vocabulary will 
be found to contradict this rule. They are, however, all recorded exactly as 
rendered, at the time, by the Kafirs employed to translate. 
3. The use of neo, nah 3 male, and ishtri , female, is very common to 
indicate natural gender, as neo ushp , horse; ishtri ushp, mare.
