How so? In the grammatical construct of the sentence, how does it make a
difference if it is masculine of feminine? There is no verb nor adjective
that needs to conjugate to it.

On the rest of the sentence, I think that the final clause is the measure of
all that goes before it. ¨...he had no form nor grandeur ... that we should
covet him.¨ likewise ...we saw him, that he had no looks that we should
covet him.¨ It´s not that he had no form at all, rather the form he had was
nothing special.

Within the context, it makes perfect sense as written.
