This I like, the m/f distinction. Is there a
reason it doesn't happen in the informal forms?

I also like the t- / v- split for normal / formal
in _both_ numbers.

I like the sound of these. It almost looks like
unus/-a/-um might have been the cause of some
contamination in there, along with id.

Same as above, especially the addition of tu to
the plural normal form.

That's a neat system!

Only one: you _really_ need to do this in plain
text with a conventinal quoting scheme! None of
the other yahoo users' mais come out all screwy
(and marginally legible) like yours do. There is
a mail options link that can take care of this
problem!
