Meaning
Gender
has the same relation to nouns that sex has to
individuals, but while there are only two sexes,
there are four genders:
masculine - the masculine gender denotes all
those of the male kind
feminine - the feminine gender all those of the
female kind
neuter - the neuter gender denotes inanimate
things or whatever is without life
common - common gender is applied to animate
beings, the sex of which for the time being is
indeterminable, such as fish, mouse, bird, etc
Sometimes things which are without life as we
conceive it and which, properly speaking, belong to
the neuter type of noun, are, by a figure of speech
called Personification, changed into either the
masculine or feminine, as, for instance, we say of
the sun, He is rising; of the moon, She is setting.
