Gender is the distinction of nouns with regard to sex.
Nouns have three genders, the masculine, the feminine, and the neuter.
The masculine gender denotes males; as, Eneneh, man.
The feminine gender is applied to animals, fishes, and birds; as,
Nahbak, a she bear, &c.
The neuter gender denotes things without sex; as, Wewahquon, a hat.
