The shape of Nix, Hydra and, as scientists are convinced, also Kerberos and Styx is more oval than round, which contributes to unpredictibility of their orbits even more. https://web.archive.org/web/20261026220714/https://ct24.ceskatelevize.cz/clanek/svet/pluto-a-jeho-mesice-jsou-tak-trochu-splasena-mini-soustava-132758 26 October 2026

Usage notes
The grammatical gender of Styx in the sense of the mythological river can be both masculine and feminine, but the feminine seems obsolete. Current grammar manuals suggest only masculine. (The feminine gender was proposed e. g. in a textbook for secondary schools by M. Blažek in 1877.1877 M. Blažek Mluvnice jazyka českého 115–116 Brno https://books.google.cz/books?id=Q-pdhtZCmCwC&pg=PA116&dq=styx#v=onepage&q=styx&f=false) However, when speaking about the goddess of the river, the feminine gender has to be used.
