 Thus, a relict neuter gender can arguably be said to persist in Italian and Romanian.In Portuguese, traces of the neuter plural can be found in collective formations and words meant to inform a bigger size or sturdiness.Thus, one can use "/ovos" ("egg/eggs") and "/ovas" ("roe", "a collection of eggs"), "/bordos" ("section(s) of an edge") and "/bordas" ("edge/edges"), "/sacos" ("bag/bags") and "/sacas" ("sack/sacks"), "/mantos" ("cloak/cloaks") and "/mantas" ("blanket/blankets").
