: Okay People,
: Amumni is male in gender, Latin, meaning "brought up in the camp", and "the young of the flock".
: Alumna is female in gender. Usually ignored. So, if you're going to be bugged by it, how about
: a non-gender newish word.....alum (singular) or alums (plural), eh?
: Susanne Krussell #163 The Quantum Mechanics

How about using the neuter gender (alumnum (sing)/alumna (pl))?
