Erudite fluther vocabularians, what is the “sister” equivalent of the word “brethren”?
I know “sisters” would likely suffice, but I was hoping for something with a little more oomph. Like “brethren”, but for the distaff side.

There is none that I know of. Given my upbringing, I’m pretty sure I’d have heard it if there were one.
I was pulling for Cistern….. that was a deep thought.
The word comes down from a time when women didn’t count, which is clearly reflected in the cults responsible for our memory of it.
Let this be a lesson to not disregard the wisdom of simian scholars.
