''Yon'' is from French ''on'', which though formally is the equivalent of the pronoun "one", commonly acts as the first-person plural pronoun(in place of ''nous'') in colloquial French. | |||
''Lis''/''lich'' are interchangeable and are derived from [[w:Portuguese language|Portuguese]] ''eles'' "they (m)". ''Lich'' is an uncommon variation more closely based on the European Portuguese pronunciation of ''eles'': [[w:Help:IPA/Portuguese|[ˈe.lɨʃ]]].}} | |||
