"Ee-lee-nwah" is a French pronunciation of the state of "Illinois."
Specifically, the state in the midwestern United States of America is considered masculine. Its singular defnite article is "l". The masculine article actually is "le," but the "e" drops before a noun that begins with a vowel.

Which one of the verbs 'fait' 'fais' or 'faire' is feminine?
Not one of the verbs is feminine because verbs do not have gender in French.
Specifically, the verb "fait" means "(He/she/it) does/makes, does do/make, is doing/making." The verb "fais" means "(informal singular You) are doing/making, do/make, do do/make." The infinitive "faire" means "to do, to make."
But the subject of "fait" may be feminine depending upon the noun or pronoun that is used. For example, "il fait" is used for "he." The word "she" requires "elle fait."
The respective pronunciations of the verbs are "feh," feh," and "fehr."
