There are only two genders in the Hebrew Bible, masculine (m) and feminine (f). Not all words have gender (e.g. adverbs) and these are marked as NA. There are words that do have gender, but whose gender class is unknown to us, because they only occur in forms that do not mark it; these are marked as unknown.
