| 27 | 32 | Apparently there are three or four sexes amongst the Kurii, depending on how one understands such things. |
| 27 | 33 | I know little about this so I will simply recount what I gathered from conversations amongst the Kurii's human allies in the Cave. |
| 27 | 34 | There are the males, and the conceiving females, and the nurturing "females," or "wombs," which are irrational and sessile. |
| 27 | 35 | As a fourth sex, or a latent first sex, there are the Nondominants, which, I gather, are males of a sort. |
| 27 | 36 | These are generally despised, supposedly, by the conceiving females, while the nurturing "females," eyeless, and mindless, would not know they exist. |
| 27 | 37 | Occasionally, under certain circumstances, physiological or social, perhaps the lack of a Dominant, the Nondominant may occasionally become a Dominant, in effect, a true male. |
| 27 | 38 | Thus, there is an ambiguity amongst Kurii with respect to something which one would suppose would be easy to determine, namely, the number of sexes in the species. |
