[Lingtyp] Color-based gender/noun class

[Ponrawee Prasertsom]

Dear all,

I am looking for a counterexample/or near-counterexample to the following
generalization:

- There is no language in which genders/noun classes* are motivated by the
color of the object (i.e. no "white entities" gender etc.)

I am primarily concerned with genders/noun classes in Corbett's sense, i.e.
they have to trigger agreement, but I would be grateful for any related
pointers/works.

Best regards,
