| I was only trying to demonstrate that it is not the actual "object" which is given a gender but, in many cases, the formation of the word. Obviously, for example, the table as an inanimate object has no feminine characteristics but the WORD itself falls into a category which can only be given a feminine gender of "la". | |

Even better in italian the table can have both genders "il tavolo" or "la tavola"
