The analysis above refers to the 119th verse of chapter 3 (sūrat āl ʿim'rān):

Sahih International: Here you are loving them but they are not loving you, while you believe in the Scripture - all of it. And when they meet you, they say, "We believe." But when they are alone, they bite their fingertips at you in rage. Say, "Die in your rage. Indeed, Allah is Knowing of that within the breasts."

anaamil is plural of anmal at

reference: Lane's Lexicon Volume 8 Page 3038 Column 3.

Its gender if written can only be exceptional gender i.e. gender by usage in language. I don't think it is required to write exceptional gender with annamil here.

1 correction, there is ta at the end of singular and ta can be used to make (1) real feminine e.g. muslim, muslim at i.e. to describe a real feminine whose male pair also exists, (2) formal feminine i.e. with a ta at the end or aa. (alif folowed by hamza) or aa (alif on top of ya or only ya) at the end or (3) increase intensity.

e.g. khaleef at has ta at the end but it is masculine and the ta at the end just increases the intensity.
