Usage notes

[edit]

The gender of this Portuguese zoonym is always feminine: when the gender of the being itself must be specified,naja-macho for male andnaja-fêmea for female. Here,macho is treated as an undeclinable noun and doesn't necessarily need to agree in gender with the referent, but would change tomacha if so.
