Whenever anyone uses a curiously moded word like
huntress, we have to ask about the L1 it's
translated from. The interlinear notes only agent
particle plus infinitive yields noun. Is the
feminine basic a normal feature of this language,
such that the male form is especially marked? If
there are any, how is "male hunter" realised?
