Masculine, feminine and neutral. The final -a is not a feminine form, which is marked by the final -i. Pneuma is neutral. You can see that easily because articles are used in Greek, according to the cases of the declension: so "o" is the masculine article, "i" the feminine, "to" the neutral. "To pneuma" means neutral.
