So what is the etymology of the feminine/masculine/neuter variation of nouns in Latin-based languages?
Inquiring minds want to know.

I believe Greek is the same way.
http://ntgreek.org/learn_nt_greek/nouns1.htm It is based on ancient Phoenician language. There was some influence on Latin from the Greek and Etruscan languages https://www.jstor.org/stable/282881?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents And of course Spanish, French and Italian, the love languages are all based on Latin frameworks ....that's roughly a bit of what. Why? I think is your question |
