For the second point, I mean, small can absolutely be defined as "not large." But it's less about that as it is a way to make learning easier, so you basically only have to learn one word and you have two at your disposal. The same is true for the gendered terms (and there have been some criticisms of this as being sexist, to be fair). But again, it's not intended to remove any kind of cultural or biological meaning to the words. But at the same time, this is built to be a second language, meaning it's built to allow communication from people with varying cultural backgrounds.
