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.
