I've found a number of other root words to talk about human beings... 1/ human beeings: "remna" (gender-free, any age) "nanmu" (man, not necessarily adult) "ninmu" (woman, not necessarily adu) 2/ often(?) but not necessarily human beings: "cifnu" (infant, baby, gender-free) "nanla" (boy) "nixli" (girl) "verba" (child, gender-free) "prenu" (person) Is this classification correct? How do you say: adult adult man adult woman citizen? Martin
