[Facts] Basque Names
I was looking through names in the database when I came across Eider. Apparently, it's the feminine form of Eder. Why does having an "i" make Eider feminine?
In English, simply adding an "a" to the end of a male name frequently makes the name feminine. What are the rules for feminizing male names in Basque?

The information about Eider as feminine of Eder is not correct. As you can check at Euskaltzaindia (http://www.euskaltzaindia.com/eoda/izenak.asp?onoma=izenak&hizkuntza=es&testua=eider), Eider is a newly made name in Basque, not from Eder but from the European bird name and/or from the Gaelic Eideard.And about the rules for feminizing male names, some names just change the masculine -a to an -e (Koldobika > Koldobike), other names add an -a (Sabin > Sabina)...
