Spanish term or phrase: VENEZOLANO, -NA
This is in the 'nationalidad' box on a Colombian birth certificate. It definitely says that the person (in this case, the father) is Venezuelan, but what the the "-NA" part mean?

So the question is: what does "-NA" mean in this context?

Explanation:
Venezuelan = relating to Venezuela or its people.
"her father is Venezuelan"
noun- A native or inhabitant of Venezuela, or a person of Venezuelan descent.
"As they look at new conductors for the reopening of the Royal Festival Hall, one of the contenders is the explosive Venezuelan, Gustavo Dudamel."

If it ends in the letter O, it's masculine, and if it in a letter A, it's feminine

Thanks for the input. I wanted to check if maybe that was *too* easy an answer and maybe I was missing some acronym, but I'm very happy to accept that they put down both genders for Venezolano(a).
