Would there be a difference in terms of the "feel" of /muSawHa'ta'wI'/
and /vInayHa'ta'wI'/? The first sounds to me like the divorce was on
the husband's terms, and the second sounds like it was the wife who
divorced the husband. Is there something more neutral, that could
indicate that the divorce was on amicable terms (very un-Klingon-like),
or that both parties equally agreed to it?
(Is there a way to say "to marry" that is gender-neutral?)
