The gender (of
nouns, pronouns, and adjectives) is normally masculine or feminine. A feminine
word has a (probably pronounced
"at") ending, before the determinative sign (the final sign(s) which
clarifies the meaning).
When an adjective modifies a noun directly (used as an epithet such as
"good woman"), it agrees in gender (and number) with its noun:
(good woman). However the
adjective 
(every, all) is usually
written as singular and masculine.
Note: In the above usage, adjectives follow their nouns, except for
"other, another" (or the
feminine version 
), which precedes
its noun.
When an adjective is a predicate adjective (as "(the) woman is
good"), it will be singular (probably) and it will be its normal
dictionary gender: 
((the) woman
(is) good).
