使用する際の注意点

• The feminine gender could belong to the indeclinable noun ananas only.
  Latin first declension nouns ending in -ās (genitive -ae) usually are borrowed from Ancient Greek and are masculine in Latin and Ancient Greek (compare Appendix:Ancient Greek first declension). By analogy the declinable noun ananas could be masculine too (like translingual Ananas m, Modern Greek ανανάς m (ananás), French ananas m, Italian ananas m, Portuguese ananás m, Spanish ananás m).

語形変化

• Indeclinable or first declension Greek. When declinable:

First-declension noun (masculine, Greek-type, nominative singular in -ās).
