masculines

Unlike the Accadians, who did not distinguish gender, the Semites divided all nouns into masculines and feminines.

Objects of fear and reverence would be usually masculines; and objects of love and desire feminines.

The masculines far outnumber the feminines, and the neuters contain only age, eye and are, ear.

In Irish—masculines are aspirated in the genitive and dative singular; feminines in the nominative and dative.

The Nouns themselves (to whatever class they may belong) are either masculines, feminines, or intermediates (neuter).
