== Canada: werlic oþðe wiflic? ==
 
Is se nama "Canada" werlic oþðe wiflic?
 
The name ends in "-a" which makes it look masculine, and on several pages it has been declined as a weak masculine, like "nama" (though in places editors have turned it into a strong masculine, so gen. sing. "Canadas" not "Canadan").
 
However, countries ending in an "-a", usually Latin-derived, are feminine: Germania, Italia etc are feminine, taking "-e" in oblique cases (so dative "Germanie", for example).
 
I think "Canada" is feminine with dat. & gen. sing. "Canade".
