<div class="">Okay, so a new question occurred to me… Maybe we’ve
been asking the wrong question.</div>

<div class="">Do we have any sex-gendered nouns besides mother,
father, and other blood relatives or spouses? Even then, Okrand
slid in some odd ones, like {tey’}, which basically means “a
not-gender-specific child of a same-gender sibling of one of
your parents”.</div>

<div class="">If there are no non-blood-relative-or-spouse
sex-gender-specific nouns, then the definitions are likely
generally mail as a simple style point in Okrand’s writing, like
saying, “A person must trust his instincts,” instead of “her
instincts” or “his or her instincts” or “their instincts”. It’s
just the way he writes them, by default.</div>

<p>We have <b>ghojmoq</b><i> nurse, nanny, governess,</i> which
does not appear to have a male version. Again, it's the English
translation that is gendered; we don't know about the Klingon
word.</p>
<p>Other than that, no we don't.<br>
