Hello all! Long time lurker here, but first post. I'm working on a conlang that applies English-like sound changes to Vulgar Latin (changes from about the pre-West Germanic era up to the British-American split). It's not exact, but so far I generally like the results. In this conlang, tentatively called "Einglek," the many sound changes have leveled the verb conjugations (happy with that), leveled the cases (don't mind that) and have led me to get rid of grammatical gender (at first annoyed me, but is growing on me). The problem is that I'd still like to have gendered 3rd person pronouns to distinguish male/female beings. So far, using ILLE or IPSE produces too similar pronouns. Perhaps I could use IS, but then the feminine accusative singular comes out equal to the nominative. Any other suggestions?
