Hullo, something i have noticed a few times but at the time could not be bothered to mention was this female Orsimer in Auridon.

It is my understanding that the prefix "gro-" is for male Orcs and that the correct prefix for a female Orc is "gra-"
Orc family names are always prefixed depending on gender, "gro-" for males, and "gra-" for females. (In a few cases in Morrowind, there are male Orcs with the feminine "gra-" prefix, or a third prefix "gor-". These are likely typos, however.) The prefix is followed by the father's name if male, or mother's name if female. The child may also receive the name of the parent of the opposite sex if the parent of the same sex is unknown. There are also cases of Orcs taking their family name from the name of the orc stronghold where they were born.

    I'm sure lots of us noticed it right away (it's kind of glaring) and reported it. I'm also pretty sure it's on the absolute bottom of their list of things to fix, in order of urgency. :#
