Wait. ‘Dragon’ is feminine in Welsh?

The big dictionary GPC says it's either feminine or masculine.
(The other two I checked only have it as feminine, though.)

GPC often lists all possibilities from throughout a word's history. Other dictionaries usually list the most commonly found characteristics today i.e. that draig is feminine.

Indeed it is, though I think it was used to mean a leader in the past and I guess it might've been used as masculine then (don't quote me on this I just remember that from a big dictionary once).
