    byl/byla have been added. If you can describe the rules for living people, I'm sure there's a way to express them using regular expressions (although Javascript regex is not as powerful as other flavors...)

    some popular cases: ; nouns: * herec = actor * herečka = actress * zpěvák = singer * zpěvačka = female singer * umělec = artist * umělkyně = female artist * malíř = painter * malířka = female painter

    some popular verbs: * female: byla, měla, zúčastnila, hrála, narodila, musela * male. byl, měl, zúčastnil, hrál, narodil, musel

    other: * male: jeho, on * female: její, ona

    Surnames ending with -ová are usually females

    The -ová termination can easily be added, as well as jeho/on and její/ona. But the others seem to start a list that has no end. I think we should stick to very generic verbs at most (is, was, was born, etc.). With that in mind, which verbs would you suggest?
