    English should absolutely do this you’d end up with some really cool words. Also because Jodorowsky was absolutely right - emperoratrix is a fucking kickass title

      Emperoratrix sounds really clunky to me, -atrix is the feminine counterpart to -ator. Imperator, dominator, navigator, etc. I’m particularly fond of the overextension that is ‘alligatrix’ myself.

        Fine fine, then Emperoress instead. It’s what the actual English translation of The Incal uses

          Why not ‘Empress’, I wonder? Nothing actually wrong with any of the options, just rings strangely to my ears.
