A neoclassical formative can be converted into a noun (= used as a noun), either standing alone or in combination with the linking element o. The nouns can be masculine, feminine, or neuter. The masculine and neuter nouns belong to the inflection class s/s, the feminine nouns belong to the inflection class -/s.
