A more glaring inadequacy is that "it" is rendered only as es or ihm, depending on case. What about things referred to as "it" in English that in German are masculine or feminine?

more or less off-topic:

I somehow knew the gender debate would start here any time soon. (SCNR)

But rightly so.

So wie ich den OP verstanden habe, geht es darin gar nicht um das "it" sondern um das "n." dahinter.

Of course -- perhaps I should have marked my post "Slightly OT".

I was just pointing out that the entries as they stand are incomplete. (Going the other way, "it" is not offered for either er or sie.)

It's up to other users or the LEO team to decide whether this matters.

Siehe Wörterbuch: sich

herself Pron. — sich 3. P. Sg., f.

himself Pron. — sich 3. P. Sg. m.

itself Pron. — sich 3. P. Sg. n.

Exactly. Maybe I could have formulated the post better and taken the time to find other examples. The link above leads to another entry with n., as well as examples of both m. and f.. The latter two are, like n., clickable, but neither link leads to anything useful. And neither is in the abbreviation list for LEO. Using abbreviations without defining them is one of my pet peeves, and although the hover trick also works here, hovering is not possible for all users!
