 * Adjectives can be also used as nouns, eg. The good will always defeat the evil - ভালরা খারাপদের সর্বদা পারজিত করবে। Here, general rule for nouns inflection applies. As a result, we should also add these adjectives into noun table
+* Right now we are treating ''''Genders' as separate words''', not as inflections. '''Nonetheless we need to mark the gender property of each word'''.
 * Adjectives need to concord with Nouns with Genders. eg. সুন্দর বালক - সুন্দরী বালিকা। This rule is strictly maintained in Sanskrit, but NOT always mandatory in Bengali, so সুন্দর বালিকা is also acceptable for instance.
