    In Hebrew, and very likely Arabic given how closely related they are, all nouns have a gender, verbs generally speaking don't. Verbs, well some of them, do get modified by the subject the verb is describing, ie "she wants" and "he wants" the word want is gendered differently. Some words have both gender forms, for instance there are masculine and feminine forms of all the numbers used depending upon the gender of the subject (ie for money, a masculine word, you'd use the masculine form of the number).
