|} | |||
''as'' and ''luare'' are bracketed to show that they are rarely used even in appropriate context. For example, though it would be grammatically correct to refer to a group of women or girls as ''as'', a native speaker is realistically more likely to still refer them to as ''os'' out of convention. | |||
''vos'' holds the same purpose as French ''vous'', in which it simultaneously acts as a plural and a formal second-person pronoun. | |||
''iel'' is a more modern pronoun borrowed from French to act as a gender neutral singular pronoun, similar to [[w:Singular they|singular they]] in English. However, unlike its country of origin of France, ''iel'' has been widely embraced in common speech in Fuano, even by older native speakers. | |||
