Foxform biology
Did you call it Cute because Neko are kawaii catpeople? And Inu are kawaii dogpeople? No As mentioned above Foxforms are divided into 4 genders known as Type A, B, C and D and the Neko equivalent by the Galactic Federation. For convenience we will term them FF, FM, MF and MM.

4/5/6 retain conservative second syllable stress and collapse the third syllable because of it and then palatise the *q
3 also palatises the q and centralises final vowels
1/2 might form a subgroup based on *j collapse
