Languary - Day 11

[clare_dragonfly]

Words for parent and Empress, as promised in the last post. Eventually I'll come up with nouns that don't refer to animals and therefore have just one form, rather than changing with the gender of the referent...

Parent (neuter): vug
Father: vag
Mother: veg

Emperor (neuter): kithat
Emperor (male): kathat
Empress: kethat

*giggle* Sorry, but mom is a vegetable? <3
Do you have neuter people or just generic words for "person whose gender we don't know at the moment?"

Hey, look at what dad is! ;)

(To be clear, that is a hard g, like in "dog"--if I meant a soft g I would use dʒ, which this language does not have.)

The neuter form is used both for people who prefer to identify that way and for people whose gender is unknown.

I was specifically avoiding what dad was! :-D

Neat.
