  1. Just curious... what does "declines as she/her" mean in your pronoun field? I've just never seen that phrase before (in relation to pronouns).

      A noun or pronoun declines as it changes with respect to the part of speech it is used as. Eg, she, she's (she is), her, hers; and more immmediately, fae, fae's (fae is), faer, faers. Those are all declinations of she and fae respectively. Because there is such a simple map from the set of she declinations to fae declinations, they are said to decline in the same way.

      I am sorry if this is foreign to you, it is a much more common concept in latin grammar, which I took for 4 years in high school.

      So, like Fae/Faer (I will note that your pronoun field actually says "Fae/Fear") has the same variations as She/Her? Like She/Her/Hers/She's, Fae/Faer/Faers/Fae's, I think I see it now, thanks. But then he/him/his/he's is different... ah yes.

      Fun fact: according to Google, the usage of "declination" has declined:

      Oh no! *Fixes that.*

      Well, thank you for pointing that out. And yeah, learning Latin has become a lot less popular in the last 200 years.
