Laughing out LOUD. A lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot.
I suppose one aspect of the hermaphroditic sheep would be that they'd pose a real problem for people who wanted to breed the things. I mean, if your neighbor happens to have irregular genitalia... well, that's really his/her business, and it would be rude for you to mention it, so you don't need a word. But if you're planning next year's lambs, and you'd love lambs out of that sheep over there, but it's a hwini, then that's something you need to be able to communicate to your fellow shephards.
(Also, there are some wonderful words on this list. Breekbridder. I've needed that one...)
