Question. Unseen forces, like nature and karma, that are often attributed as having agency are also often assumed to be female (in English at least). Is this the case in other languages and if so why?

Maybe this is interesting to you, although I am by no means an expert but obviously I am a native speaker. In Greek what is cool is that female nouns ending in -εια, εία, and -ειά are produced from a verb and denote the action or result of the verb.

Me neither! I just thought it odd. Maybe it’s just an idiosyncratic case in English tho
