Most of Australia's 460 First Nations languages have no gendered third-person pronoun. Many use one word for he, she and it, or a pronoun ending that avoids gender, and some use a demonstrative like that one. The Kriol pronoun im is used for comedian Mary G in Broome, whatever their gender. Gender does appear in other ways. Jingulu, spoken in the Elliott region, has four noun classes: masculine, feminine, neuter and vegetable. Vegetable covers many long, thin or pointed things, so the tail and the nose belong to it. In Dyirbal, spoken in northern Queensland, the category of a word can depend on Dreamtime stories, so most birds are feminine because they are believed to be the spirits of dead women.

Israeli reports also say the cabinet directed the military to prepare for a possible new attack on Iran.

Angkor, near Siem Reap in northern Cambodia, was the capital of the Khmer Empire, which ruled much of mainland Southeast Asia between roughly the 9th and 15th centuries. At its height the city spread across about 3,000 square kilometres, making it the largest pre-industrial city on Earth by area. Its growth depended on water: huge reservoirs called barays, along with canals and embankments, stored monsoon rain and carried it to rice fields. That system let farmers harvest more than once a year and fed a very large population through the dry season. The temple complex of Angkor Wat, built in the early 12th century, is the best-known monument and still stands at the heart of the park.
