Imaginary is in maths.

Gender is applied to words, nouns to be specific, masculine, feminine and if they have a third noun gender it is neuter.

There is also animate/inanimate and rational/non-rational and personal/impersonal but those genders do not appear in the English or the majority of European languages so they can be safely set aside since this happened in Norway.
