Mi havos genevonThis is surely wrong. The ge prefix is used to indicate the presence of both genders, not "either/or".
Mi havos ge-nevon
How would you say it in English? As I recall, English lacks a gender-neutral term for "child of one's sibling". I might rework the sentence altogether to say - "mia frato/fratino havos idon" or similar, just as I would say - "My brother/sister is having a child"...

Alkanadi:Which is better when the gender is not known?Depending on whether it's one's brother or sister who is the parent, how about "filido" or "filinido"?
