'''Greek''' (distinguishes biological from sociological in adjectives)

'''Greek''' (distinguishes biological from sociological in adjectives)

In Greek, male biology and masculine grammatical inflection are denoted by ''arsenikos'' ({{Polytonic|αρσενικός}}), in distinction to sociological masculinity, which is denoted by ''andrikos'' (ανδρικός). Likewise, female biology and feminine grammatical inflection are denoted by ''thēlukos'' θηλυκός; and sociological femininity is denoted by ''gunaikeios'' γυναικείος, compare English gynaecology. This distinction is at least as old as Aristotle (see above). It is a different distinction to English, where 'male' and 'female' refer to animals as well as humans, but not to grammatical categories; however, 'masculine' and 'feminine' refer to grammatical categories as well as humans, but not properly to animals, except as anthropomorphism.
