"Obviously, swords are male."

The swordmaster gave the student a tired look. "No."

"But sheaths must be fema-"

"Sheaths exist to protect swords from the world, and vice versa. Swords exist to kill and maim."

"Or be pretty," another student said.

"Indeed. And those roles aren't male or female."

in Ukrainian, sword is male ("меч", "mech") and sheath ("піхви", "pikhvy") is PLURAL. But sabre ("сабля", "sablia") is female...

@juliana None of my swords have gender, but a friend had a sword he called Gerda, and the name fitted her.
