[Mesorah] How widespread is ignorance of Hebrew?

[Mandel, Seth]

Im tashiv miShabbos raglekha, asot chafotzekho b'yom qodshi.

Anything that would come after that would refer to Shabbos as masculine? Feminine?

As you said, there may be an implied yom.

WADR, I am not aware of any case where the Hebrew word Shabbos is masculine.

Isaiah 56:2 "shomer shabbat mehhallelo"
Isaiah 58:13 "Im tashiv mishabbat raglecha ... vechibadto"

(though these are usually explained as agreeing with an implied "yom")
