Message definition (Gender neutral language in Swedish)

*'''Förförälder.''' Neutral, nonstandard but will be understood. Means grandparent. Förförälder can be used both as a collective word for grandparents, but also to designate a parent's parent as gender-neutral. Förföräldrar also serves as an alternative gender-inclusive word to förfäder (forefathers). Förförälder is not included in modern dictionaries, but "förföräldrar" is mentioned in SAOB (The Swedish Academy's dictionary).
*'''Förför.''' Neutral, nonstandard. Means grandy/grandma/grandpa. Förför ought to be pronounced with "short ö:s" to not confuse it with the word "förför" which means "seduce" (which is pronounced with a short first ö and long second ö). Förför is an alternative that fits well together in the pattern of mormor (maternal mother, standard), farmor (paternal mother, standard), morfar (maternal father, standard) and farfar (paternal father, standard).
*'''Morför.''' Partially neutral, nonstandard. Means maternal grandparent.
*'''Farför.''' Partially neutral, nonstandard. Means paternal grandparent.
*'''Förmor.''' Partially neutral, nonstandard. Means parent’s mother/grandma.
*'''Förfar.''' Partially neutral, nonstandard. Means parent’s father/grandpa.
