What's the opposite/antonym of "epicene" in the linguistics sense?

English Language & Usage Asked by Sware on August 8, 2020

The title says it all. I am looking for a word used to describe a noun that has different forms for male and female referents, e.g. emperor and empress. I guess "gendered" would work fine, but I wondered if there was a technical term for it. Thanks in advance.
