Perché è feminine?

Pontes is feminine in Portuguese because it derives from Latin "pons, pontis," which was masculine in gender. However, Portuguese underwent a gender shift where many Latin masculine nouns ending in -s were reanalyzed as feminine during the transition from Latin to Portuguese, particularly those that developed into words ending in -e. This represents a regular but significant gender reclassification rather than simple gender retention.
