{fetyjavnak-} (female, male, or both female & male) would allow more
than two genders. But I would agree that three mightn't still be
enough.

Yes, we could generalize {cinse} up to a point where it would cover
the spectrum mentioned by J.E.C. above and would provide a more
productive rafsi:

gincinse - genetic gender
jikcinse - social gender
klucinse - cultural gender
etc.
