Since we have a larger pronoun table than English, how about we do ‘p’, ‘i’, and ‘a’ for neither, nonhuman, and inanimate and ‘g’, ʊ, and ɑ for male, female, and unknown?

[International phonetic alphabet](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet)

Edit: assuming it’s the ipa, I mean those are all ipa symbols, but what aren’t? It could be like some other system but that seems highly unlikely

The ʊ is the ‘oo’ in book, and the ɑ is like a deeper version of the ‘o’ in mom

The ‘i’ is the ‘ee’ in sheep, and the ‘a’ is the ‘o’ in mom

Those are the best non-ipa approximations I can make. I would recommend looking up ipa with sound.

The main problem I see with that is there is a few matches on the table that have two vowels (hardish to pronounce[iu{nonhuman female}]) and even some that are two constants (almost impossible[gp{neither male}])

Oh, I didn’t mean to imply that’s how those should be used, my bad. I meant that male pronouns should use ‘g’ for all of its variations (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 1st plural, 2nd plural, 3rd plural) I did write it a little confusing, sorry about that!

As a second thought looking at the chart maybe non human neither and inanimate might go better if it was a sub class of the male female and neither chart instead of their own unique pronouns for simplicity’s sake

It really doesn’t matter all that much but I was thinking instead of having a two way chart with each block getting two modifications gender or species/tencd it would get three (species+gender+tense)

colors? like the naming system of colors? i feel like we should try to finish up these pronouns and this \*\*\*\* so we can see how the language looks like first.

you’re welcome if you want to pop a few ideas in here for the pronouns if you want though, the more peps we got the better and if we end up with two systems we can take a vote on witch one is better.

i feel like having pronouns for unknown and neither is a overcomplicating thing, in english we have pronouns that can be used for both and its they/them.
