Re: Gender

Vyh permits for one to completely omit any reference
to gender.  Even the actual 3rd per. pronoun, formerly
and in writing as _yuu_, which can become genderized
in the spoken language (ie., _ha:m_ for he, _ha:h_ for
she) is relatively uncommon.  Most commonly,
people/animals/things (anything) can be recognized by
the gender-void form _La:m_ /I&m/.

(Although, to the contrary, Vyh also permits for one
to genderize pronouns such as I and you if the speaker
so chooses; as in the example below)
  (formal and written form of "I")    _yai_
  (colloquial form of "I" in general) _ma:m_
  (colloquial form of "I" for women)  _ma:h_
  (devoid-of-emphasis form of "I")    _ma:L_*
*The latter is especially interesting in that it may
be used for suggesting that oneself lacks a gender.
