Language
Koer is referred to using Spivak pronouns which are a proposed set of gender-neutral pronouns in the English language. These pronouns are not in widespread use, but have been employed by some J'naii and other species who have issues referring to themselves with the more common alternatives "he/she" or singular "they". The pronoun set was popularized as neologisms by 21st century mathematician/educator Michael Spivak, who used it in a number of books.
The Spivak pronouns are formed from the pronoun "they" by dropping the "th".
There are two variants of the Spivak pronouns known, but the one Koer identifies with is shown in the declension table below.
| Nominative Case/Subject | Accusative Case/Object | Possessive Adjective | Possessive Pronoun | Reflexive Pronoun | |
| Male | He laughs | I hit him | His face bled | I am his | He feeds himself |
| Female | She laughs | I hit her | Her face bled | I am hers | She feeds herself |
| Singular "They" | They laugh | I hit them | Their face bled | I am theirs | They feed themselves |
| Spivak | Ey laughs | I hit em | Eir face bled | I am eirs | Ey feed emself |
