Whichever.  Different groups of humans have used bases 5, 10, 20, and a
few others like 8.  So, 6, 12, and 24 would be reasonable choices,
whichever you prefer.

Hmm, hermaphroditic Klingons?  ;-)

Well, they'd probably have a word for "alien".  Perhaps they'd use
something like "producer" for "female" and "contributor" for "male".
Perhaps they might also borrow words for "man" and "woman" as well.  But
they'd probably need a word for male and female.
