Quendu (pronounced que-en-du) is the elfkin[1] equivalent to male.
This term is an exclusive way for elfkin to express their gender in a purely elfkin way, despite their gender expression being recognised as a human male/masculine gender.
Quendu can be used by any elfkin as long as they relate to the human identity of "male" or "masculine" while experiencing it in a purely elfkin way.
History
Quendu was coined by user RegardlessThyme2 on August 25th,2022 after hīe began to explore heom elven identity and had a hard time identifying with any existing elfkin genders. Hīe also felt a relation to the human idea of "male" but wanted something that expressed that in an elven way.
