-This list contains some words I use even though it is not 
-considered as standard English, or rarely used in English.
-
-whence
-: from where
-
-thou
-: singular second-person pronoun
-
-ze
-
-: singular gender-neutral third-person pronoun
-
-  pronunciation /ziː/, similar to German *sie*\
-  objective **zem**, possessive **zer**, reflexive **zemself**
-
-  I derived it from English determiner *this*, since modern pronouns
-  also come from Old English words for *this*. Logically, it would more likely
-  becomes *de* or *fe*. *Fe* seems out of place for me, and *de* may make me
-  look like appropriating AAVE.
-
-  *They* as a singular pronoun kinda works, but it causes confusion.
-  I prefer clarity, which is also the reason why I use the archaic *thou*
-  when the situation allows. Of course, I respect everyone's pronoun preference
-  so this is only used when I don't know it.
