This is the English-language subforum - please write all messages in English here.
"Homino" is a possible but infrequent word. The base root "hom-" is already sex-neutral, similar to "human" in English (or the German Mensch). So "homino" is, literally, "female human".
There's no reason why you couldn't say this, but one normally says something like virino, ino, ulino to express the idea of "woman", "female".
