Gendered Words
- Drakine's only gendered words are specifically those for "male" and "female"
-- The Third Person Singular pronoun to refer to individuals is "rel" and does not have variants for male or female.
-- When speaking a gendered language, dragons will often default to "it" rather than "they" for an individual whose gender they do not know; they can recognize the difference between singular and plural more easily than they can recognize the difference between person and object, and thus assume "it" is the standard gender-neutral pronoun.
