TEKNON (τεκνον) is neuter too.
*grammatical* gender is irrelevant to the entire issue.

I forgot to
say that the most elementary thing is that the word “spirit” is neuter and
means “the thing blown, wind”.
The word
by itself, contrary to “man,” does not denote a person.
Only additional
information in the context can show that the spirit means a person in a specific passage.
So again, the
case of “man” cannot be contrasted with the case of “spirit.”
