Gender

In "The Old Woman By The Sea" (soon to be renamed), "na" is the gender-neutral term, based on "nagara" (used for "citizen"--and going to be removed). Too many people critiquing found it confusing.

Hmm. I see your point.

Would it be possible to just eliminate gender pronouns in their case?

Or, I suppose, perhaps just fall back to the old trick of using the plurals... which if the presented gender is multiplicative, might make logical sense anyway.
