David,
You have it all wrong. The "gender-marking" is a figment of your (or your mentors') imagination. You can safely shed it from your vocabulary.
It is crystal clear to me now that not only did you not put so much as a dent in "my theories", but that you have shown yourself also still quite confused as to what the Hebrew language is all about.
I suggest that you read my book and pay close attention to my postings on this list.
I am sorry that my responses to you are often curt, but I sometimes find the improvised logic of you postings so frustrating as to render them unanswerable.
