Şehîd is one that immediately comes to mind, however it is listed as a male in KMR-ENG, while oddly completely absent from KMR itself. There could be a new paradigm for these, but for now I am listing cases such as peyamnêr as both male and female. |

The lexicon gathered by Walther et. al. in kurlex has few masculine nouns. It seems that most masculine nouns can be used as feminine as well in the proper context. New paradigms are probably the way to go for the ambiguous/specifically masculine distinction. |

General TODO[edit]
Figure out divê (modal verb? Conjugation of divêtin?)
Zana Farqînî's dictionary considers the full form divêtin to be a noun (infinitives are feminine in Kurmanji), while in Baran Rızgar's dictionary it is considered a transitive verb. I have not yet seen this used in any person than third, regardless of tense or ergativity.
- biwa looks a lot like narrative for bûn. Verify.
- PP after a substantive in ezafet inflection could be permissible.
