Why not just use the bottom line for third person?
I get that, but this person is specifically not using they/them; I'm just trying to figure out how "Xi" works, in the context of normal grammar.
Xi say(s); there are only two pronouns which is "simpler"; but English is built around having the regular five.
e.g. in the following sentence, I'm unsure what pronouns Xi would use:
We would still use "yours" when referring to Xi in the second person (I assume); but what would Xi use as the personal possessive pronoun?
It doesn't really work at all in my view, which is why you hear xi as a pronoun so rarely.
