male/female



I want to revert to an earlier stage of Ceqli for male/female words.  Now,
Loglan does something totally silly by having separate words for
mother/father, sister/brother, and then making parent and sibling as
compounds.  Silly.  Did Lojban follow that pattern?  Anyhow, here's the
Ceqli pattern.

pam - parent,  pamo - father, pami - mother

Thus for all kinship terms, and also for words that commonly have the sex
indications.   Kan, kani, kano   Tcel (person) tceli, tcelo.  The i and o
endings can be thought of as metamorphemes.
