[split] male/female/uncertain?

[Koen G]

What about three categories... women, men, and uncertain?

This would be very useful, though it will be hard to agree on what "uncertain" means. I have been studying a lot of Carolingian and similar manuscripts lately, and they omit penises without shame. Also, the difference between pectoral muscles and women's breasts is not always as clear as we would expect it to be, and sometimes "breasts" are drawn on a man to indicate chest muscles.

Add to that the fact that, as Pelling argues, many breasts appear added later in a different pen, and suddenly a whole lot of figures become gender ambiguous. All this, has led me to believe that there may actually be more men in the manuscript than one would suspect at first glance. Especially since I believe the current artifact is a copy, which adds further complications.

But I have a feeling that it will be very hard to agree on such issues
