"cifnu" can refer to any animal or plant; "caterpillar" is "ciftoldi". "nanla" and "nixli" I don't remember seeing used of other than humans, but wouldn't find them odd for "foal" and "filly". "verba" can be used of animals, but not, I think, of plants. "prenu" can be used of other than humans; lo patfu cevni cu prenu gi'enai remna. > How do you say: > > adult > adult man > adult woman > citizen? makcu (nanmu|ninmu) selgugycmi mu'omi'e .pier.
