use '*' in the midst of some words, e.g. rower.
autofrettage> Ordinary German:
autofrettage> male rower = Ruderer
autofrettage> female rower = Ruderin
autofrettage> Gender neutral German with gender star:
autofrettage> any kind of rower = Ruder*in
But with the 'female' suffix? Thatʼs almost as bad as 'écriture
inclusive'. Surely 'Ruder**'? 😇
