chetnik
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: derivation
Etymology: From Serbo-Croatian četnik, from četa (“band, group”) + -nik.
Base: četa
Affixes: -nik
Inflected forms:
form: chetniks
pos: noun
tags: plural
form: četnik
pos: noun

form: Chetnik
pos: noun
tags: alternative
Senses:
gloss: A member of a Serbian royalist army band.
pos: noun
tags: historical
examples: Since most Chetniks only wanted to fight close to their homes, a mobile army that could carry out sustained campaigns under central command never developed.
By the end of February 1942 Glaise von Horstenau reported to the OKW that the cetniks were parading in every village occupied by the Italians fully armed.
By the winter of 1907, it was clear that a number of the četnik bands were operating in Macedonia independently of any supervision; only with some difficulty did an emissary from Belgrade succeed in re-imposing control.
gloss: An adherent of a nationalist revival of the historical Chetnik movement.
pos: noun
examples: The Visegrad gathering, which saw uniform-wearing participants singing songs that included lines such as "there will be hell, the Drina will be bloody, here come the Chetniks from the Serb mountains’, provoked wariness and fear among Bosniak residents who survived some of the worst atrocities committed by Chetniks.

agender
Part of speech: adj
Morphological type: derivation
Etymology: c. 2000s, from a- (“not”) + gender.
Base: gender
Affixes: a-
Inflected forms:
Senses:
gloss: Lacking gender (in any sense) entirely.
pos: adj
tags: not-comparable
examples: An agender noun includes both the masculine and feminine forms.
All I understand is that G-d is amorphous, agender, etc. so "image" can't be a physical or gender or sexual thing.
"He" has been used as the default pronoun, and as I said, unfortunately there is no agender equivalent to he/she, as "it" is usually equated with something without life, or at least of a life form considered to be less intelligent (that in itself is negotiable, but this is for a different topic).
But despite this near-universality of gender, cultures can have transgender, agender, and hypergender individuals.
There are faculty advisers on El’s theater crew who balk at using “they” for one person; classmates at El’s public school on the outskirts of Boston who insist El can’t be “multiple people”; and commenters on El’s social media feeds who dismiss nonbinary gender identities like androgyne (a combination of masculine and feminine), agender (the absence of gender) and gender-fluid (moving between genders) as lacking a basis in biology.
"'Agender'? I'm pretty sure that means not identifying as a particular gender? I'm sorry. That's just what it made me think of. I'm not trying to tell you what to--"

Senses:
gloss: Pertaining to a game or situation where overall benefits to all participants can increase.
pos: adj
tags: not-comparable
examples: Morality […] is a consequence of the interchangeability of perspectives and the opportunity the world provides for positive-sum games.
The wisdom of crowds can also elevate our moral sentiments. When a wide enough circle of people confer on how best to treat each other, the conversation is bound to go in certain directions. If my starting offer is “I get to rob, beat, enslave, and kill you and your kind, but you don’t get to rob, beat, enslave, or kill me or my kind,” I can’t expect you to agree to the deal or third parties to ratify it, because there’s no good reason that I should get privileges just because I’m me and you’re not.³² Nor are we likely to agree to the deal “I get to rob, beat, enslave, and kill you and your kind, and you get to rob, beat, enslave, and kill me and my kind,” despite its symmetry, because the advantages either of us might get in harming the other are massively outweighed by the disadvantages we would suffer in being harmed (yet another implication of the Law of Entropy: harms are easier to inflict and have larger effects than benefits). We’d be wiser to negotiate a social contract that puts us in a positive-sum game: neither gets to harm the other, and both are encouraged to help the other.

pos: noun

examples: To an Englishman, German liberalism is a hybrid creature, lame of three legs and blind of one eye, and thus it is necessary to explain — if indeed explanation in its rational sense be possible — the position of the German Liberals in this matter of philo-Semitism.
The new civilizationism is a paradoxical combination of “identitarian” Christianity, secularism, philo-Semitism, Islamophobia, and even some elements of liberalism such as support for gender equality and gay rights.
The great sociologist Zygmunt Bauman argued that philo-Semitism and anti-Semitism both fall under “allosemitism”: literally Othering the Jew. He defined it not as resentment of what is different, which is xenophobia, but rather of what defies order and clear categories. In 1997, he wrote, “The Jew is ambivalence incarnate. And ambivalence is ambivalence mostly because it cannot be contemplated without ambivalent feeling: it is simultaneously attractive and repelling.”
