Which is better when the gender is not known?

Mi havos nev(in)on
Mi havos genevon
Mi havos ge-nevon

This is surely wrong. The ge prefix is used to indicate the presence of both genders, not "either/or".

How would you say it in English? As I recall, English lacks a gender-neutral term for "child of one's sibling". I might rework the sentence altogether to say - "mia frato/fratino havos idon" or similar, just as I would say - "My brother/sister is having a child"...

Okay. Thanks

That makes sense.

I'd just use "nevo" in that case, but probably only because i am a darn Icxisto.

Depending on whether it's one's brother or sister who is the parent, how about "filido" or "filinido"?

Roch:I buy it! But you would be talking like a grandparent... as an uncle I would say frat·in·ido
d'oh!! right you are!
