‘Noun class’, where adjectives have to decline to agree with the class would fit better in most cases.

great,now explain why the water in spanish fits into a noun class with incorrect "the" and why hands do the same thing, but for the opposite class.

bonus : why are fire and door in different noun classes?

the source of this arrogance : first language had no noun classes , nor indefinite articles.
