Pourquoi est-ce feminine ?

Cana is feminine in Portuguese. While it does descend from Latin "canna" (a reed or tube), the gender classification in Portuguese is primarily determined by the -a ending, which is a productive feminine marker in Portuguese. Most Portuguese nouns ending in -a are feminine, regardless of Latin declension patterns. The -a ending became the standard feminine marker in Portuguese and other Romance languages through regular sound changes from Latin.
