Neqebah

נקבה http://biblehub.com/hebrew/nekevah_5347.htm

ostensibly, neqebah means female

However, this might not be accurate

there are only 22 uses of the word, half of them in the book of Leviticus.

i have posted that ish might also refer to female

Strangely, a parallel exists in the proscription against graven images. While the typical rendering is “anything on earth or in the heavens, Deuteronomy 4:16 reads “male and female”:

Deuteronomy 4:16 - lest you act corruptly and make a carved image in the form of any figure the likeness of male or female
