			===Loan Word Classification===
			When borrowing words, there are some general rules that apply to which noun class the word is assigned. Note that there may be some sound changes when a loan word is adopted, especially if it makes it more in line with the words in that class.

			* Generally speaking, the attempt will be made to place the word into the closest semantic class
			* If word matches the word class infix (that it, it has the same or similar sounds after the stressed syllable), it might be placed the class with that infix. It's meaning may shift some to fit the class, and a new root may be created by analogy.
			* If there are existing words that are closely related to the incoming word, it may be placed in the same class as the associated word (for example, cooking utensils are often put in Class 5).
			* People are always put in Class 1, regardless of form.

Nouns are classified into a noun class, which dictates semantic information as well as agreement on determiners and verbs.

===Types of Nouns===
Nouns can be classified into two types by word shape. The first are ''infixed'' nouns, which are formed by taking a root and inserting an infix after the stressed syllable of the root. Each noun class has a 'thematic'' infix which is used in this process, and the infix places the noun in the corresponding category.

The other type is ''bare'' nouns. These do not have the thematic infix, but are placed into a particular class by semantic criteria. Sometimes these are unaffixed noun roots, and sometimes these are loanwords. In addition, some derivational affixes will place the word into a class. These words still require agreement like infixed nouns - the noun class just has to be memorized.

All noun classes have some of each type.
