DISCUSSION: Who are these wraith, anyway?

lobelia321I am writing a wraith fic. In my viewing I am up to series 2, episode 11. It occurs to me that there are many holes in wraith canon, and probably even more holes in my own knowledge thereof. So I would be very interested in anything you have to say about the wraith. I append some questions but feel free to come in with your own 38 cents. Canon, fanon, and your own wild speculations: I'd love to hear all of it.
a) Do wraith have cocks?
b) Do wraith reproduce like mammals? i.e. do they have sex? Or are they more like the iratus bug and do some sort of arthropodic thing?
c) Is there anything in canon that actively contradicts the idea that wraith have long, frog-like, prehensile tongues?
d) Why do wraith have ugly fang-teeth if they feed with their hands?
f) Do wraith feed on each other? They do in the Defiant One but is this a human shipwreck scenario, or are they just bestial, or is it a ritual thing that replaces the sex they don't have because they are bugs?
g) What do you think those scars on their face are? Self-inflicted? Beauty spots? Ritual markings? Gills??
h) Are wraith allergic to salt water?
i) If wraith don't have cocks, what do they have (do you think)?
j) Do wraith have arse holes? They presumably need to defecate and urinate when young, as they then still eat food (Elia in Instinct) but do these cloaca then atrophy? or remain, and if they remain, what function do they continue to serve?
k) Do wraith have names? Other than what Sheppard makes up for them?
l) Why does Sheppard call them Bob and Steve? Are these childhood bullies? Just names that pop into his head? Killed army buddies? His own middle names???
m) Do wraith sing?
n) Do wraith speak any other language/s besides English?
o) What is the ratio of female wraith to male?
p) Are the wraith more like orcs or more like elves? (Half of them look like movie!Legolas with teeth, *gg*).
