    Last letter/sound matters. Some – female, some – male, some – neutral (we have 3 grammatical genders in my language)

      “matters” but curious where the logic or rules come from and is it harder than expected for folks who cannot hear the sound?

        logic or rules come from

        That is a “natural” language. Not C++ or Esperanto. No logic. Just bullshit and idiocy.

        is it harder than expected for folks who cannot hear the sound?

        Absolutely trivial for anyone. If the word ends with “a”, it is female. If any consonant – male, “o” – neutral.
