Why in romance languages does the letter a represent femininity and the letter o masculinity?
In:
It ultimately comes from Latin, where many feminine nouns and adjectives end in -a in the nominative, dative and ablative case, while many masculine ones end in -us in the nominative and -o in the dative and ablative.
I don’t know how Latin got it, but ultimately no one knows how all human language ultimately comes from.
