Review fixes: reword flags, gender cross-check vs Czech mod, catch 12 more leaks
- Reword per review: "an eye or four" -> Maj oko, aj štyri; fishing rhyme 1567 -> ...návnadička (keeps rhyme + "bait is wrong"). - Gender: cross-checked every gendered self-reference against shippy/ outer-wilds-czech. Only 3 disagreements file-wide -> Arkose (feminine), Porphy (feminine), and the hide-and-seek kid at 1627 (feminine) corrected; Filix kept feminine (EN "her note" beats Czech's masculine). All other Hearthians confirmed masculine. - Definitive leak detection: quote-normalized suffix-of-key test caught 12 more untranslated values the heuristics missed (curly/straight-quote drift) - duplicate Eye-shrine walls (1167-1170), Nomai locator, traveler arrival, hide-and-seek + ghost-matter kid lines. Now 0 English leaks in the flat list. - Consistency: "The Good Stuff" standardized to Tá Dobrota. - glossary.md + review-notes.md updated with the gender findings. Build OK.

Outer Wilds uses **they/them for all Hearthians**, so gender is textually
|
||||
unspecified. Slovak past tense forces a gender, so the first pass **defaulted to
|

masculine** for everyone not otherwise cued. Verify in-game whether any of these

are canonically female (would flip verbs/adjectives):

Outer Wilds uses **they/them for all Hearthians**; Slovak forces a gender, so the
|
||||
first pass **defaulted masculine**. We then cross-checked every gendered
|
||||
self-reference against `shippy/outer-wilds-czech` (Czech is also grammatically
|
||||
gendered) — only **3** disagreements surfaced across the whole file, now resolved:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Village kids & villagers:** Marl, Tephra, Galena, Rutile, Tuff, Spinel,
|
||||
Arkose, Gneiss, Porphy, Mica, Moraine, Tektite.
|
||||
- **Travelers:** Gabbro, Riebeck, Feldspar, Chert, Esker — all **masculine** by
|
||||
the glossary default.
|
||||
- **Ground crew:** Hornfels, Hal, Gossan, Slate — **masculine** (Hornfels & Hal
|
||||
confirmed masculine in existing SK).
|
||||
- **Locked female (from EN pronoun cues):** Solanum, Poke, Clary, Ramie, Pye,
|
||||
Filix, Melorae, Privet. **Locked male:** Annona, Coleus, Avens, Plume, Idaea.
|
||||
- **Arkose** (ghost-matter kid) → **corrected to feminine** (*Slyšela jsem*).
|
||||
- **Porphy** (sap-wine maker) → **corrected to feminine** (*dolila dávku*).
|
||||
- **Filix** — Czech has her masculine, but English says *"her note"*, so she
|
||||
**stays feminine** (English canon wins).
|
||||
- Also flipped the **hide-and-seek kid** at idx 1627 to feminine (*Chtěla
|
||||
jsem… otravná*).
|
||||
|
||||
If the community/game establishes a canonical gender for any Hearthian, update
|
||||
the glossary §5b table and re-pass that speaker's lines.
|
||||
**Confirmed masculine** (Czech agrees): Chert, Esker, Gabbro, Riebeck, Feldspar,
|
||||
Gneiss, Marl, Mica, Spinel, Tektite, Tuff, Hornfels, Hal, Gossan, Slate.
|
||||
**Undetermined** (no gendered self-reference either side; left masculine): Galena,
|
||||
Rutile, Tephra, Moraine — worth a glance in-game but low-risk.
|
||||
**Locked female (EN cues):** Solanum, Poke, Clary, Ramie, Pye, Filix, Melorae,
|
||||
Privet. **Locked male:** Annona, Coleus, Avens, Plume, Idaea.
