Usage notes
edit- Although the citation does not show gender, gender can be deduced from the -eson suffix. Compare meson, seson, and so on. The Anglo-Norman On-Line Hub for le geteson does not necessarily indicate masculine gender, as le is occasionally used for feminine nouns in Anglo-Norman and Old Northern French. See le.
