- talonstriker 13y agoI think that's because nouns ending in a "ah" are considered feminine in the Russian language http://www.russianlessons.net/grammar/nouns_gender.php http://www.russianlessons.net/grammar/nouns_gender.php
- Grue3 13y agoYeah, for the name to be feminine it must end in ah/ya sound or a certain class of soft consonant endings, so this pretty much restricts the usual female names to this class. That said you're quite likely to encounter people with non-Slavic names, like Gulimzhan which don't have to follow this rule.
