I was wondering, too. Gracile explained that there is no genderless term in this case and Rintze suggested to generally fallback to the feminine version when looking up terms since that is the more common case in the languages we looked at. Note: I haven't worked out a general algorithm for gender lookups yet that considers all these fallbacks. Sylvester
