Not female here either, but: A neutral and/or a positive word for "smell" that isn't too high-flung (closest general-purpose one I can think of is "aroma" which is really too much). A word for the smell of food (like "nidor"...) A word for the sense of comfort that comes from being at home. (something like the opposite of homesickness). Also, first person dual inclusive pronoun ("wit/unk/uncher"). I had a few others in mind but they slipped it. *Muke! -- http://www.frath.net/
