    Probably active/passive actor or more short forms of names. I.e. everyone must have a single syllable descriptor. There are various extant examples of grammar that is more complex than just gender. English does have very few complexities after all.

    Basically anything with a roughly 50 50 split in usage in spoken language

      Probably active/passive actor

      That’s what I’ve been using to write notes on my worldbuilding. Using only they/them got annoying real quick.

      more short forms of names

      I’m curious how practical would it be for a language to avoid pronouns whatsoever. Sounds hard.
