think i've managed to make a format that fully characterizes a gender for 95%+ of typical use cases it looks like: she/her/her/hers/herself/woman/girl/madam/daughter/sister/mother/this/that with optional "plural/" and "nonpersonal/" in front for those cases "she/her" indeed
subjective pronoun, objective pronoun, possessive adjective, substantive possessive, reflexive pronoun, human term, immature human term, offspring term, sibling term, parent term, proximal indicative pronoun, distal indicative pronoun

plus plurality and whether a bare indicative can be used, which basically is whether it's for a person or not (if you say "look at that", i.e. using a bare distal indicative, you're being insulting if you're talking about a person, have to say "look at him" or "look at that man")
-
are there buccal or lingual indicatives i only know distal in the dentistry context
-
proximal = close, distal = far
-
that's what it means in dentistry!

why do you need the last two?
-
not completely certain i do but i can see neopronoun users deciding they want to be "zis" and "zat" instead of this and that
-
there is a motivating force here I do not understand, but OK
-
FULL CUSTOMIZABILITY
-
i think i might chop off the indicatives though yeah, really the key data point is just whether you can use one bare
-
do need to vary them to "these/those" for plurality but that can just be keyed to plurality i guess
