Thread Name: BS: Non-gender-related pronoun
Subject: RE: BS: Non-gender-related pronoun
That's Triona Ni Dhomnaill & Micheal O Domnaill signifying "Micheal, son of Domnaill" and "Triona, daughter of Domnaill" the surname gets the 'h' in the female version. My parents used to call me "Bug". And then there's always "Pooter" which Shelly on Northern Exposure used to call her baby before she was born.
