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?
