Originally posted by NordlysThe only example I can think of to support that is "dominator/dominatrix."
"-or" is a male ending, the female equivalent is "-rix", e.g. senator, senatrix. The person in Starrman's avatar looks quite female, so it must be an avatrix, not an avator.
I would have gone with "avator/avatette."
Originally posted by SJ247I am talking about Latin. "Avatette" sounds more like French. In that case, it should be "avateur/avatette", I believe.
