In non-cat news, went to nmbern , discovered some niche genders. Some bits made me grumble (not least the description of the cassowary as a ‘caring househusband’, as opposed to ‘caring househusband and noted murderbird’. Cassowaries have depth!) Some bits seemed clunky (no, gender and sex were not ‘longtemps’ available in two and only two types, do I have to mail them a copy of Laquer?) but the net sum of it was pretty damn good. And well translated into French, so although I needed friends to gloss the more obscure animal names and clarify implications a few times, I was able to pick up a lot of really useful to me language in German and reinforce the topic in French at the same time.
