Latin programma, for the masculine gender. Urszag (talk) 11:48, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- I would think it would occur in the masculine, given that many of the borrowings from Late Latin seem to be masculine: cf. French programme, Italian programma, Catalan, Galician, Portugese, and Spanish programa, etc. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 20:59, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- Greek nouns ending in -μα are neuter, and are regularly taken into Latin as third-declension neuter nouns (but sometimes regularized to first-declension feminine nouns). I think masculine -ma nouns in Romance languages are generally are adapted from Latin neuter nouns.--Urszag (talk) 03:08, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
- RFV failed for masculine gender. Removed as failed RFV. The word was additionally tagged for RFV for the feminine gender by 93.234.206.102 on 15 November 2023. Since this was never formally posted to this page, I'm updating this now and I guess we can see if anyone can attest a feminine first-declension use.--Urszag (talk) 01:44, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
- RFV failed for feminine gender. Removing from entry.--Urszag (talk) 11:04, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
