Could be male or female. “Ben-Dohd-dah” or “Bat-Dohd-dah”
I am no ancient linguist, but I’ve spoken Hebrew my entire life.
Just read your Bible; it contains pages and pages and pages of geneologies, germane to tribal inheritance, position, who is and who is not “Jewish,” Temple practice, and the Messianic Line.
The idea that there is no Hebrew word for “cousin” is silly.
