''Zigg'' and ''zy'' are singular and plural reflexive pronouns respectively. ''Hʉn'' and ''hʉness'' are mainly used for emphasis, and tend to be replaced by ''zess'' in other contexts. | |||
The gender distinction in the third person singular is based purely on natural gender. Children and animals of unknown gender may be referred to by ''dē'', but for teenagers and adults of unknown gender it is more common to use ''hi'' as a gender-neutral pronoun. | |||
