The <Link to="/inflection/inflection-patterns/">5 basic patterns in the last chapter</Link> work with both masculine and feminine words (nouns and adjectives).
There are also a few more patterns that are only for **feminine nouns**.
**Note:** This only works with **inanimate nouns**. (ie. words for people like <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "باجي", f: "baajée", e: "older sister" }} /> will not inflect like this.)
