Nomenclature

[Patrick Strasser]

Hi there!

I read German documentation as praparation for own tries on
documentation. I noticed the geramn transcription of "the Hurd" and
wondered if it is male/female/neutral singular/plural as german
distinguishes articles by those. 
I guess it's like "the herd", "the cluster" or "the swarm".

I know it's not most essential, but if someone is competent to tell me,
I would propagate the Right Notation.
