Jadon:

All right, so a female bitten by a werewolf (or a wifwolf) is in some  
unspecified mythology a wifwolf? Isn't there a gender-neutral word?

Quoted in the OED:
1912 E. O'DONNELL Werwolves xiii. 212 As in France, the werwolf, in  
Belgium, is not restricted to one sex.

The definition: "A person who...", not 'a man who...'.

And here we have 22,900 google results for 'female werewolf': http:// 
www.google.co.uk/search?q="female+werewolf"

All the evidence because the idea that there are no female werewolves  
seems very odd to me. :)

Where do foxes come in?
