Is the sword referred to as male or female?

It is an interesting concept to Americans, but inanimate objects such as weapons and even articles of furniture(la Chaise-chair, in French is female) have Gender. in both the Greek and Latin-based tongues The sword is of the Female gender- Xiphias in Greek , and Gladius in Latin. (Gladiator, literally swordsman, is of course in the male gender) but Gladys is a girl"s name. Then one has the sword of Justice and Justitia is a female figure! (Justice is blind). hope it"s some help, Men like to assign female personalities to things they admire (she"s all yours) rivalling the more formal (You Have the Conn!) By the way the latin equivalent Totus Tuus_ Lit She"a all yours! was the official motto of the former Pope John OPaul VI who was at the helm of the Bark of Peter for a good many years! Hope this is some help of course ships are called She as Nauta (from which nautical is derived is Feminine) so is Marina and words such as maritime. hope this is some help.
