noviceconlangersTalking with Freo, Shuts, and Trix on Twitter got me thinking about genders for my proto-Callanian language.
Current-era Callanthe society differentiates between skilled and unskilled labor sociality and garb-wise - I'm still working on this, because I think that unskilled labor is an acknowledged and respected second class.
I'd mentioned splitting gender by useful and un-useful, which is not the same as skilled and un-skilled.
Which has me to
Skilled -- practical
-- theoretical
Unskilled - decorative
- practical
But I don't know if that makes any sense
