There are several noun classes and each one has a unique prefix which is attached to a root word. Noun classes are akin to grammatical gender in other languages. However, this term is not used because there are simply too many (most languages have a maximum of 3 which they assign neuter, feminine and masculine properties), and because the Ibomian Language Board thinks the notion of grammatical gender is ridiculous and patriarchal.
===Verbs===

===Adjectives===
Adjectives follow the noun they describe and they are prefixed by the first letter of the prefix of the noun that they describe. Adjectives can also describe other adjectives.
