Description:

The term 'olu' means 'sex'. It serves as a root for matters relating to sexuality and gender.

Noun:

As a noun, 'olu' means the sex act in general, or the biological sex of an organism, much as in English. the derived form 'olusyn' means sexuality in general, and can refer to a person's sexual preferences, and 'oluhot' is another word for gender that can differ from biological sex. 'Ikóluhotys' means lacking gender or non-binary.

Note that in order to discuss the concept of grammatical gender, the word 'tuhot' would be used instead, even for languages where grammatical gender and biological gender are referred to in the same terms.

Verb:

As a verb 'olu' means to have sex. It is an intransitive pali verb where all the parties having sex are in the absolutive case and joined with 'epis', and the focus is equal rather that on one party penetrating the other.
