The pronoun AY.
It is a fantastical evolution of THEY when used for an epicene singular third person.
AY AYS, following the simple model of IT (forget Stephen King).

I do know the person who killed your cat. Ay should be imprisioned. Ays name will carry a shame for centuries.

(Why not EY EYS?)

I say: actual epicene they is not totally neutral, it is only a summarily She or He = They.
The interesting feature of this They is that it follows the model of YOU

Blua_Monto:Time to demolish all the irregular verbs.
goed, builded, sleeped…
Too bad, this will let some synonyms arise, like "seed".
Someone is brave enough to present and test all the regular verbs? Are some of them troublemakers?

Finally English can translate Arabic and Spanish!

hei heyou hewe hethey
shei sheyou shewe shethey
ayi ayyou...

and heyall, sheyall, ayyall.

"Steinbeck found himself going through torturous self-assessment."

What about a variant?:
Steinbeck found going through torturous self-assessment. (without HIMSELF).

.
I found that in intellectual international English, the gentle and slow regularisation of English verbs is in progress.
More scientific is to explore the use of concrete regular forms in Internet.

I am robbing from the facebook group English Reform.

I suppose that they are naive proposals, that they need some more creative thinking.

Exaggerate = cause to appear larger
Inaggerate = cause to appear smaller

toomuchise vs toolittlise.

Overblow, underblow.

explain: to make clear
implain: to make unclear

extravagant: extreme, unreasonable
introvagant: moderate, reasonable / innerly perverse or odd.

extreme vs intreme.

exist vs inist (quantical theory)

exercise (work out) vs inercise (resting/theorising/visualisation).
" When you watch a karate film, you inercise karate.

Really important concept: INAGGERATE (mitigate, dissimulate, banalise).
Enemy's casualties are exaggerated and our own casualties are inaggerated, systematically, for God's sake.

What about the Esperanto translations?
maltroigi, malklarigi, malekstrema, malekzisti, ktp.

My question: "They" in English is not only epicene, it is collaterally indistinct about number (singular or plural), analogously to YOU. Could you use it as a mark of politeness?

The queen has called to excuse "Theirselves" for "Their" inappropriate words.
("They" is a respectful you-style pronoun for, in this case, the queen.)

They has no tea. That is the epicene use of "they".
They (a single person) have no tea. That is the respectful plural.

This is not reform, but comparison and reflection about relative and subjunctive clauses.

EN. convey to people that you beleave in their potential.
(Is the verb "beleave" in subjunctive?
convey to any partner that beleave in your potential)
EO. kunu homojn kies uson kredu vi.
(kunu ajnan partneron kiu kredu vian uson).
Cxu gxuste?

How to say in Esperanto with analogous structure?

EO. kunu homojn ke vi kredu ilian uson.
Cxu gxuste?

Vorto "sivo" ne ekzistas en Esperanto sed ankaux ne en la angla, cxu?

Mi jam proponis en sekcio AliajLingvoj, subsekcio ReformonsLeFrançais.

Kio estas "sivo"?
Ekzemple, horlogxalarmo estas sivo.
Noto manskribita sur la fridujo por si aux por kunulo, estas sivo.
Lasi pluvombrelon apudporde por ne forgesi gxin am eli, estas sivo.
