nonvirile
Where it comes from
From non- + virile.
adjective non-virile
- Not virile. Then there is a consistency, if this feminine theory is true, in the old-womanlike faces of the middle-aged Pueblo Indians; they are stout and appear nonvirile and non-sexual.
- Pertaining to a grammatical gender used in some Slavic languages for plurals of masculine animate, masculine inanimate, feminine, and neuter nouns, i.e. for all groups that do not include men or personal masculine nouns. The nonvirile form is used for nouns of masculine gender not referring to human beings and for neuter and feminine gender nouns. […] Numerals from five through ten distinguish between two forms: the form for virile gender nouns and the form for nonvirile gender nouns which the numerals quantify.
