Gloryoski!=A0 Why should Lojban be able to sort out things tha= t the experts in the field can't yet get straight?=A0 Grammatical gende= r is defined by concordance and has, in a few languages, some more than cas= ual relation to some physical features of the referents.=A0 Other languages= have derivational devices (other than concordance) to signal (somewhat mor= e regularly) such physical features (along with others, e.g., size, age). S= till others basically don't notice.=A0 As for the features involved, th= e range is enormous.=A0 And when you throw in genetic data or cultural norm= s or internal intentions, you pass well beyond what languages manage to dea= l with comfortably (or even uncomfortably).
