The gender system in Laceyiami nouns and pronouns is strictly linked to its honorific speech (darīmmayva, literally "society language"). In fact, the gender system itself is closer to a system of honorifics rather than to a noun class one, due to the lack of morphological marking: the gender of a noun is only marked through third person pronouns referring to it, and it is based on natural gender logic.
