Unlike other languages, English does not use masculine and femine rules. We use a neutral gender. For example. La tavola in Italian is Feminine. In English we say table.

Webster's Dictionary aims to provide the most commonly used forms of words in English. If the feminine versions of words are less frequently used or are not considered standard in English, they may not be included in the dictionary. Additionally, language evolves over time, so not all variations or forms of words may be documented in one dictionary.
