Best Answer

In English there are no masculine or feminine forms. English uses gender specific nouns for male or female. The noun 'prophet' is a common gender noun, a word for a male or a female.

Some believe that prophetess is a feminine word for prophet but this is incorrect. When you look up the Greek word for prophet it is 'prophetes' and the Hebrew word is 'nabiy', which means Prophet or one who speaks forth or openly. The Greek word for prophetess is 'prophetis' and the Hebrew word is 'nebiyah', which means a companion and/or follower of a prophet. No gender is listed... either you are a companion and/or a follower of a Prophet.

The noun 'prophet' is a common gender noun, a word for a person who states that something will happen in the future; a word for a person who teaches or spreads a new idea or belief; a word for a member of some religions who delivers messages that are believed to have come from God.

A seldom used gender specific noun for a female is 'prophetess'.
