Reply to: Gender of "moon" and "sun" in different languages? by Andy
Moon is female and sun is male in French (moon = lune, sun = soleil).
In Yiddish both are feminine: die (or ha) Sune (zoo-nuh) and die (or ha) Levone.
In Judeo Spanish moon is feminine and sun masculine: la luna (the moon) and el sol (the sun).
