public class NounConcept
extends Concept

This class stands for concepts that are represented by nouns. This is the only way how concepts can be represented at the moment, but it is planned to support also adjectives. Noun concepts have two word forms.

0: singular form. 1: plural form.

Examples: ["country", "countries"]; ["woman", "women"].
