Usage notes
- Since w?f is a grammatically neuter noun, all accompanying articles, determiners, and adjectives take neuter forms: þæt ealde w?f ("the old woman").
- However, pronouns referring back to w?f are almost always feminine: ?esiehst þ? þæt w?f s?o þ?r stent? Canst þ? h?e? ("Do you see the woman who [feminine] is standing there? Do you know her?"). This is similar to the situation of the neuter word mæ?den (“girl”) and the masculine word w?fmann (“woman”), whose grammatical genders also disagree with their natural genders.
