Gender Masculine
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
Nouns, adjectives, finite verbs, participles, pronouns, pronominal suffixes, and some particles change their form according to
|
||||
grammatical gender, either masculine or feminine. The masculine gender is usually indicated by the absence of any prefix or suffix.
|
||||
However, various prefixes and suffixes can indicate masculine gender.

In Biblical Aramaic, :ref:`nouns<noun>` are classified according to gender, either masculine, :ref:`feminine<gender_feminine>`, or
|
||||
sometimes :ref:`both<gender_both>`. Grammatical modifiers (such as :ref:`adjectives<adjective>`, :ref:`active<participle_active>`
|
||||
and :ref:`passive<participle_passive>` participles, :ref:`pronouns<pronoun>`, :ref:`pronominal suffixes<suffix_pronominal>`)
|
||||
change their endings in order to agree with the gender of the term they refer to. A :ref:`finite verb<verb-finite>`
|
||||
with masculine gender indicates a masculine subject. All references to male persons in Biblical Aramaic are masculine.
|
||||
However, other entities apart from people can also be classified as maculine. For example, the :ref:`proper names <noun_proper_name>`
|
||||
However, other entities apart from people can also be classified as masculine. For example, the :ref:`proper names <noun_proper_name>`
|
||||
of nations and tribes are often masculine in Biblical Aramaic. Some :ref:`particles<particle>` are also marked for gender
|
||||
in Biblical Aramaic.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note:: Some nouns appear to be masculine but are actually feminine, even some common
|
||||
nouns such as אֵם (mother) and אֶרֶץ (earth). These nouns are feminine even though they do NOT take feminine
|
||||
endings. A dictionary orlexicon will indicate the proper gender for each word.
|
||||
nouns such as אֶבֶן (stone). That is, some nouns are feminine even though they do NOT take feminine
|
||||
endings. A dictionary or lexicon will indicate the proper gender for each word.

Masculine :ref:`singular<number_singular>` :ref:`nouns<noun>` and :ref:`adjectives<adjective>` have no unique ending;
|

they are the standard dictionary form. Masculine :ref:`dual<number_dual>` terms end in ־ַיִם (pataq-yod-hireq-final mem),
|
||||
as in אַפַּיִם (nostrils). Masculine :ref:`plural<number_plural>` terms usually end in ־ִים (hireq-yod-final mem),
