Various Terms
Guide
- ?: terms with no source.
- /: separate different forms of the same term.
For adult, no age, and child it's formatted singular/plural, and for quality it's adjective/noun/clipped. - &: group different spellings of the same form.
If all forms are spelt differently, and/or they have slightly different meanings, they're listed separately. - _: terms I couldn't find or didn't exist.
- -: prefixes.
For quality in nature, gender and various attractions can be appended to the end, for orientation, it's just attractions.

Sources
Please read the sources!
I named the sources in such a way as to be internally consistent, and I was broad in what I included.
- The definition changes a bit, see the ask I sent Arcopluris for more info.
- Male, Female, Man/Men, Woman/Women, Boy/Boys, Girl/Girls, Masculine/Masculinity/Masc, Feminine/Femininity/Fem, Androgynous/Androgyny/Angi, Genderless/Genderlessness/_, and Neutral/Neutrality/Neu

- These are really old terms, so I can't exactly provide a coining source for them. I think their Wiktionary entries (for their etymology) are quite interesting though, so I'll link them here.

- Enbinmel
- I used enbin- in front, with the -mel ending, from NonbinarySorcery's post.
- I would have liked to add ninmel to agender's category, but ninnmel already has a different definition in the first coining, it seems the meaning of the nin- prefix was changed in the second update.
- Abinmel, Abinox, and Abinon
- I used abin- in front for abinary, with the -mel, -nox, and -non endings from NonbinarySorcery's post.
- Midbinmel, Midbinox, Midbinon, Mbinmel, Mbinox, and Mbinon
- I used midbin- and mbin- in front for midbinary (mbin- is just a shortening), with the -mel, -nox, and -non endings from NonbinarySorcery's post.
- As noted in the post, I only listed the -mel endings because the -nox and -non endings seem to be based on nonbinary, maybe binnox, binnon, binox, and binon could be for nonbinary binary sex terms.
- Atrinmel, Atrinox, and Atrinon
- I used atrin- in front for atrinary, with the -mel, -nox, and -non endings from NonbinarySorcery's post.
- Midtrinmel, Midtrinox, and Midtrinon
- I used midtrin- in front for midtrinary, with the -mel, -nox, and -non endings from NonbinarySorcery's post.
- Fluidmel, Fluidnox, and Fluidnon
- I used fluid- in front for genderfluid (just as an alt to the flui- versions, to better match the flux- and fluix-), with the -mel, -nox, and -non endings from NonbinarySorcery's post.
- Malefemale, Femalemale, Manwoman/_, Womanman/_, Boygirl/Boygirls, and Girlboy/Girlboys
- These are just combinations of old terms, so I can't exactly give a coining source, and I'm not that'd make sense either.
- I originally added these because I was missing some terms, and I had seen them used as androgyne equivalents, though I guess it's a bit unneeded now. The androgyne category is pretty messy anyway, being comprised of both androgyne specific and male female combination terms, so I guess I'll keep it.
- Mavmel, Mavnox, and Mavnon
- I used mav- in front for maverique, with the -mel, -nox, and -non endings from NonbinarySorcery's post.
- There seems to be some confusion on the meaning of aporale and aporan. Based on how the words are spelled, I think aporale was meant to be a sex label (like male and female), and aporan an adult label (like man and woman), so that's how I'm sorting it here.
- Apmel, Apnox, and Apnon
- I used ap- in front for aporagender (apo- prefix was already taken), with the -mel, -nox, and -non endings from NonbinarySorcery's post.
- Oumel, Ounox, and Ounon
- I used ou- in front for outherine, with the -mel, -nox, and -non endings from NonbinarySorcery's post.
- Kemel, Kenox, and Kenon
- I used ke- in front for kenochoric (because I think it's easier to pronounce than keno-), with the -mel, -nox, and -non endings from NonbinarySorcery's post.
- Xenmel, Xennox, and Xennon
- I used xen- in front for xenogender (because I think it'd be neat to have a form more similar to the other sex labels, even if they don't follow the original post's format, and xen- seems easier to pronounce than xeno-), with the -mel, -nox, and -non endings from NonbinarySorcery's post.
- There's mention of it elsewhere, but I can't find a earlier source.
- Ouman/Oumen
- archive.today
- Wayback Machine
- Specifically, they suggested reusing it as an outherine term.
- Abin/Abins
- I used ab- in front for abinary, with the -in ending inspired by nonbin
- Midbin/Midbins and Mbin/Mbins
- I used midb- and mb- (shortening) in front for midbinary, with the -in ending inspired by nonbin
- Unfortunately, I couldn't save the comments section on archive.today or Wayback Machine, so I only have the original link and a manually taken screenshot.
- Nontrin/Nontrins
- I used nontr- in front for nontrinary, with the -in ending inspired by nonbin
- Midtrin/Midtrins
- I used midtr- in front for midtrinary, with the -in ending inspired by nonbin
- Mult/Mults
- I used mult- for multigender, shortened to make it sound more neutral/general.
- Yune/Yunes
- I used yune somewhat from the pronunciation of uni(gender), removed the I / E sound ending to make it sound more neutral/general, and added a Y in front to hopefully make it clear it's meant to be pronounced with a U sound (somewhat like june).
- Mavin/Mavins
- I used mav- in front for maverique, with the -in ending inspired by nonbin. (I realise in hindsight, that perhaps this doesn't make sense etymologically, and the -in ending is a shortening of -inary.) I also found it as a tag on another post, I assume as a synonym to mvin-. But I couldn't find any mention of mavin- outside of this post, everyone uses mvin-. So I don't think it'll be an issue.
- I've seen xen used to mean a lot of things, from being short for xenine, a xenogender equivalent to boy/girl, as well as man/woman, and just being another way of say xenogender in general. It makes sense, spelling wise, it's just the first three letters of xenogender, so I understand how many different people could have independently coined xen with different meanings. I'll be sorting it as no age, but I wanted to be clear it can be used to mean many things.
- Midtry / Midtries & Midtrys and Midty / Midties & Midtys
- I used midtr- and midt- (shortened, inspired by aty) in front for midtrinary, with the -y ending to be diminutive.
- I list angi as both a child term and a shortening of androgynous, because I've seen it used like that (androgyne version of boy/girl example), but it first started as a shortening of androgyne (used in a combination term).

- I found the source for birl (p. 111) through the Nonbinary Wiki page for birl, it's what's credited for "a girl and a boy definition" (other definitions include "boyish girl"). Though, it is just a combination of the words boy and girl, and it's also cited as general queer slang, so I'm not sure this is the original coining. I think it's interesting to list though.

- Zey& also coined othran, but that already means something else (quite sure this is unintentional), so I'll mention it here, but not list it again. Also, they mention "outhan" but I don't recognize that and wasn't able to find a source, so I'm not sure what they mean.
- I've seen xenine used all over the place, and am not really sure where it comes from. However while looking through this for agenerine, I saw xenino mentioned, as they were proposing new words. So is this the origin of xenine? Also, the variations listed there ended in O, as the language it was coined in uses different endings to detonate gender. When used in English, I've only seen the E ending, likely to match the -ine suffix common in English, and not to detonate them as related to femininity in some way (though it seems E can also be neutral? honestly I'm a bit confused).

- Othra-
- I used othra- in front for othran, with the -a ending (in other words, removed the -n from othran) to match the spelling of other similar orientations.

- I used atria- in front for atrian, with the -a ending (in other words, removed the -n from atrian) to match the spelling of other similar orientations.
- Midtria-
- I used midtria- in front for midtrian, with the -a ending (in other words, removed the -n from midtrian) to match the spelling of other similar orientations.
