Another azo question

In the quiz I just did, the question was: “¡Qué ________ tiene ese hombre!” and the answer was manazas. Is there a reason that Mano with an “o” ending becomes Manazas and not Manazos? Is it simply because Mano is feminine even though it ends with an “o”?

This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using the Spanish augmentative suffixes -azo, -ote, -ón"

Exactly Linda, "mano", although it looks masculine (-o) it is actually feminine: la mano, una mano, las manos, therefore "manazas".
