Most Romance languages have two genders. Feminine derived from Latin feminine, and masculine derived from Latin masculine and neuter. Some keep a vestigial neuter, but this thread is not about that.
In many Romance languages, feminine nouns end with -a while masculine nouns end with -o. In these, the ending -e can be found on both masculine and feminine words. Could a language naturally develop this into a third epicene gender? For a rough example, this would lead to something like: gato bello "handsome tomcat"; gata bella "pretty she-cat"; gate belle "attractive cat"
With any POD, is this at all possible? If not, could it be introduced later due to some kind of language reform?
