  @Barbara_Sliwinska@mastodon.social @RobotDiver@starlite.rodeo You could argue Ó ‘grandson, grandchild, descendant, grand-daughter’ (or Ua, but not not O’ – that’s just a spelling used in Anglicizations) to be gender-neutral as the noun has been used referring to women for centuries too, see https://dil.ie/42573. Women traditionally take patronymic Ní (= inghean uí ‘(the) daughter of the descendant of…’) and when called after a husband, (bean) Uí ‘(the wife) of Ó…’.
