Hen is indeed used in Swedish (or can be) if you want to avoid referencing to gender in
3rd person.

Well, in Indonesian the words for: he/she; brother/sister,Grandmother/grandfather... are the same. But they do have different words for mother and father.
To say girl, they say: child woman, for boy it is: child man :)but only if asked so, normally they only use the world "child" (anak)
