Original Note:
Some languages categorize the moon with feminine pronouns, some with masculine. However, as the field of Linguistics holds, language itself is arbitrary. There is no inherent gender to the moon, nor to language itself — our languages are a human construct. https://blogs.ntu.edu.sg/hg3040-2014-1/?page_id=393#:~:text=Arbitrariness%20in%20human%20language%20refers,there%20may%20be%20semantic%20change.
