There has been some discussion here about when the gender-specific pronouns stopped being used. One idea was to have the Council eliminate gender pronouns at Unification in a further effort to unify the Celestials. I would like to propose, however, that the pronoun use had simply fallen away as Celestials began to see themselves without gender. This more gradual process fits more realistically with how language actually evolves, but it's more amorphous. Perhaps we could designate a time during which these pronouns were used frequently, then a time when they were falling into disuse and then a date by which they were no longer used.
Thoughts?

I like the idea of the gender pronouns simply falling away from use without a real 'timeline' for them. With the Celestials abilites to flow in and out of forms and genders nearly at will, I would think that the idea of him/her would just fall out of vogue. After all what would happen when you are talking to 'him' but he is in the Morphed form of a female? Now the gender pronouns would still be taught and even used by very formal and stuffy Homidus, but in common parlance they just would not be used.

I have made every attempt to make sure there is consistency with the use of (') for compound words as well as within the pronouns. To this same end, I've standardized the Skills and Seasons, making them relate more clearly to other Celestial words. Finally, there are four sheets in this file, one that's English/Homidin; one that's Homidin/English; one that lists Animals & Skills and another that lists Events, Seasons and Place Names. I thought this might make it easier to look for specific terms. Please let me know if you find errors or inconsistencies and I'll repair them. Here is the link: www.mardigras3000.com/downloads/homidinguide20208.xlsHave fun! Cris |

Cris? I would like to edit some Homidin into my battle anthology story. Can you help me with some phrases?
Let me know if I should post here (like with Pam and Mik) or if you'd rather I send a PM (which is fine by me too).
Thank you ahead of time!

Seriously, thank you, Cris! I know you're swamped. This means a lot to me.
These phrases please:
"Are they serious?"
"Was that a (I'll insert an English word here)?"
"Shall I ask the (English word) to attack?"
"This is not over."
"Defeated by fools?"
"Defeated by little children?"
These words please:
Duck (as in the action... not the animal)
There (as in "There!" he pointed to the burger display)
Terrapyre
Human
Ketchup (okay... that one is a joke I don't actually need it.)
Thank you again, Cris.
