Interesting collection of genders. I'd like to know more. What exactly is the difference between your "both" and "neuter" genders? Do you use "both" if you know a group contains both men and women? Do you use "neuter" or "both" if you do not know whether a group is one gender or mixed gender? Do you use male/female distinctions with animals, or do they just get neuter? Is the "both" gender ever used in singular, or just in plural?

I like this! My language Ikanirae Seru has spoken punctuation too. Do you plan to have any other spoken punctuation, like question marks and exclamation marks, or not? (Ikanirae Seru has 5 types of spoken punctuation, or "sentence-type markers": question mark/interrogative, period/statement mark, order/request/imperative mark, exclamation mark and formal statement mark.)
