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,
but sometimes the context is inconclusive.
