I'd look from the perspective of a guy that reads to much biology from wikipedia.

I would say Argonians can ONLY mate with argonians, due to the massive differences between reptillian and mammalian biology. Just check out reptiles on wikipedia (and find out male argonians have dual pronged invertable reproductive organs).

Khajit, this is more contentious, but assuming they have cat biology, their parts would be pretty incompatible with man/mer. Plus a male man/mer will not be able to impregnate a female khajit as their parts lack the needed barbs for the stimulation of ovulation in the female.

I'd say the main reason why man and mer can reproduce is because their parts can fit together well enough and their reproductive cycles are similar. They probably share enough DNA too.

This is not really confirmed, just a theory, feel free to contradict
