	Verbs agree with the gender of the topic. On vebs, feminine gender is marked with the suffix -''ri'', which elides any preceding consonant and /u/ after a nasal, and raises preceding /o/ to [u] if the /o/ after a nasal. The masculine gender is marked with the suffix ''-am'' which combines with word-final vowels /i e u o a/ to make /jaːm eːm oːm aːm am/.		Verbs agree with the gender of the topic.

	~~coverbs~~ agree with the gender of the noun following them. If there is no noun, they are not inflected for gender.

	Numberless pronouns can be used for both singular and plural contexts, but not if the plurality extends into another personhood category. Semiplurals are generic pronouns but with an emphasis on a specific personhood (e.g. the first person semiplural is a generic pronoun with an emphasis on the speaker).		Numberless pronouns can be used for both singular and plural contexts, but not if the plurality extends into another personhood category. Semiplurals are generic pronouns but with an emphasis on a specific personhood (e.g. the first person semiplural is a generic pronoun with an emphasis on the speaker).

			==== Generic Pronouns ====
			Feminine generic pronouns are more aptly described animate generic pronouns, and the masculine generic pronouns inanimate generic pronouns. The former refers only to people or willing agents, while the latter refers only to non-living things, patients, or unwilling agents.

	==== Clusivity ====		==== Clusivity ====
	When the plurality extends into another personhood category, the pronoun is marked for clusivity. There are three types of clusivity: narrow inclusive, broad inclusive, and exclusive. Narrow inclusivity refers to the exclusion of third person. Broad inclusivity refers to the inclusion of third person. Exclusivity refers to the exclusion of second person.		When the plurality extends into another personhood category, the pronoun is marked for clusivity. There are three types of clusivity: narrow inclusive, broad inclusive, and exclusive. Narrow inclusivity refers to the exclusion of third person. Broad inclusivity refers to the inclusion of third person. Exclusivity refers to the exclusion of second person.

	~~==== Gender ====~~
	Neuter non-generic pronouns can be used interchangeably with their gendered variants. The gender of a plural pronoun is dependent on the gender of the addressee for inclusive pronouns and the gender of the non-speaker referent for exclusive pronouns.

	==== Formality ====		==== Formality ====
	First person semiplural is used most often in formal speech. Second person semiplural is used most often by a social superior to a social inferior. Third person semiplural is most often used in informal speech.		First person semiplural is used most often in formal speech. Second person semiplural is used most often by a social superior to a social inferior. Third person semiplural is most often used in informal speech.

	~~Neuter gender is favored more than feminine or masculine gender in formal speech.~~

	Neuter gender is favored more than feminine or masculine gender in formal speech. ~~Because of this, feminine and masculine~~ forms ~~are more often subject to rapid~~ speech, ~~in which they change into their "rapid" variants~~.		Neuter gender is favored more than feminine or masculine gender in formal speech.

			Rapid pronoun forms only occur in informal or neutral formality speech, not formal or very informal speech.

	Very informal speech, regardless of speech speed, uses only one pronoun ''ka'' for all semiplurals.		Very informal speech, regardless of speech speed, uses only one pronoun ''ka'' for all semiplurals.

	The topic overlaps strongly with the typical object of a sentence, as it is given much more importance than the agent in most cases outside of when the agent is being emphasized. Verbs with English translations that imply the subject's agency do not necessarily translate as giving the topic agency in the syntax of Magikoe. An example of this being the verb ''rewo'' meaning "to play music". The sentence ''Huru rewori ko''' translates to "The dog is listening to music" even though the direct translation would say "The dog is playing music". The music is being played, but the topic is not the player of the music.

There are two genders, masculine and feminine, though they do not correspond to masculinity and feminity when applied to humans. They are marked on nouns, verbs, and coverbs.

	The first noun (topic) and second noun always have their own gender. Nouns that follow the second noun always agree with the second noun.

Nouns in a clause modifying a non-topic noun or other word agree with the opposite gender of the word they're modifying, a feature called "gender disagreement".
