#2: Initial revision
How does your fantasy race view humans? 1. **They don't like us**. In their legends, we're stupid, brutish and disgusting - basically, "human" is their version of "troll". In this case, I'd recommend coming up with new words. It would seem strange to make them use words that mean "troll", "male troll", and "female troll" (except as insults). 2. **They feel a kinship with us, or admire us.** In their legends, we're something similar to them, perhaps idealized versions of themselves - sort of like elves, in some of our stories. In this case, it should be safe to use "person", "man", and "woman." 3. **They don't feel strongly either way.** If it isn't really a big deal, I'd recommend sticking to using "human" terms, just to keep things simple.
