Introduction
The 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet are all consonants, making it an abjad, a writing system without vowels. However, in reality, the weak consonants (א (alef), ה (he), ו (vav) and י (yud)) often represent long-vowels, and optional diacritical marks are used for short-vowels.

How do you apply the masculine and feminine? Is it by speaker (ie. a man speaking uses the masculine regardless of who he is talking to), or it is who is being spoken to (ie. a man talking to a woman will use the feminine)?
