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 in use, as shown in the declension table below. | |||
