Gender Both
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
Summary
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
A word is classified as "both gender" if it contains both a masculine
|
||||
and a feminine form, or if a single form is masculine in
|
||||
some contexts and feminine in other contexts.

Article
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
Some words appear in both a
|
||||
:ref:`masculine<gender_masculine>`
|
||||
and a
|
||||
:ref:`feminine<gender_feminine>`
|
||||
form. Other words have only one form, but that single form can be either
|
||||
grammatically-masculine or grammatically-feminine. These kinds of words
|
||||
are classified as "gender both", and they are usually nouns or
|
||||
adjectives. Sometimes the context can determine the gender of a
|
||||
particular instance of a "gender both" noun (see examples below for
|
||||
שֶׁמֶשׁ), but sometimes the context is inconclusive (see example below for
|
||||
נֹגַהּ).
