Just so you know, in English "gurl" is a slang word used to describe a human male who a) has had sexual reassignment surgery to transition from being male to being female or, b) is a human male who lives, dresses, and identifies as female, but has not had surgery to put that physical transition into effect. So if, in fact, you are talking about young, youngish, or adult women, "gurl" is incorrect.
