I just read an interesting article on teh nett about Old Judaism... how they worshipped a woman too in the Temple. It was believed before that the woman worshippers were something else, but the new excavations show otherweis.... Maybe it was in AA papers (Anicent America Foundation). Interesting me thinks.
In finnish we have no genders in words...like a table or a boat they are all it ... no need to think is that female or maskulin.... Even the word he/she is a neutral one. I have to say I have difficulties in Norwegean as they really use those genders a lot and I have NO idea what thing can be he, what she and what it!?
English a-an is a LOT easier!
