Please, I still don't understand whether majtki is feminine or neuter. I'm guessing feminine but can't verify that on online dictionaries, where is just says "plural"
And frankly, that's the answer. In plural, there isn't really a distinction between masculine, feminine and neuter, as there are only two plurals: masculine personal (groups with at least one man) and not masculine-personal (everything else). Obviously, with almost any plural noun, you can talk about its gender in singular. But only 'almost any'. As plurale tantum nouns simply do not have a singular version, they're neither masculine, feminine nor neuter, they're 'not masculine-personal plural'.
