FWIW, I think a full spec needs to contain "he/him/his/his". - subject=nominative: He (she/it) goes - object=accusative: I see him (her/it) - possessive=geni

FWIW, I think a full spec needs to contain "he/him/his/his".
- subject=nominative: He (she/it) goes
- object=accusative: I see him (her/it)
- possessive=genitive, dependent: it is his (her/its) item
- possessive stand alone: it is his (hers/its)
- and maybe also specify himself (herself/itself).
In German, just need to specify er/seiner/ihm/ihn/ sein/seine/seines/seiner/seinem/seinen/seins/sich/der/dessen/dem/den/ dieser/dieses/diesem/diesen/jener/jenes/jenem/jenen/derjenige, possibly more.

- jimmygrapes 5y agoWhere does theirselves / themself fall in here?
- vidarh 5y agoThe point is not to give every possible term, but to indicate the basics. It's convention as an aid, not meant to be exhaustive. If anything it's more likely to get shortened with time.
- perryizgr8 5y ago> likely to get shortened with time. I agree. Maybe with time the pronoun info would get encoded into terms like "man" and "woman". Even further than that maybe your name itself would give clues to your gender identity, eventually.
