Possible correction. Not suggested by me.

كلمة "العير" ليست

masculine

إنما

feminine

"والدليل أن ما قبلها كان مؤنثا فالآية: "فأذن مؤذن أيتها العيرإنكم لسارقون

أيتها تستخدم للمؤنث

Agreed. This word appears three times in the Quran (all in Surah Yusuf) and each time it appears with a feminine gender marker.
