Gender locked race?

On a separate note, I'm not sure why "la hyur" isn't contracted to "l'hyur".

Because that grammatical rule only applies when the following word starts with a vowel sound (l'argent, l'eau, l'orange, l'huile). Hyur uses a hard "H" sound instead of a silent h.

That explains it then. For some reason I thought Hyur in French would have a silent h.

Here L'hyur would appear as slang. But you can definitely pronounce it.
Though if one uses it with the english pronounciation of course it would become then Le/La Hyur.
