He refers to Eru as "he", but never says that he has is a male. Are you confused yet? Let me explain. In the book, it would be quite redundant to keep say Eru this and then Eru that and on and on. Instead, you would use "he".

Then he could say "it".

Besides, how many characters did actually say "<blank> is male" or "<blank> is female". Maybe Gildor was really a girl, or genderless!

Quote:

Could Goldberry in secret be Eru?

No, for the same reason Bombadil could not (at least one of them): Tolkien stated that Eru never took shape in Ea.
