''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. | ''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.

The accusative forms are also used as vocative forms, as in ''Y '''lue''', k'el pansa?'' "And '''him''', what does he think?" | |||
The genitive forms can also be used as dative forms when placed after the noun, e.g. ''don la '''luere''' mesa'' "give '''their''' table" vs ''don la mesa '''luere''''' "give the table '''to them'''" | |||
