  2. 2
    A pronoun associated with a xenogender. neologism

    "Pronouns: Words that replace a noun in a sentence such as “she/her”, “he/him”, or “they/them”. Alternatively, there are neopronouns like “xe/xem” or “ze/zir”. Xenopronouns are a subsection of neopronouns in which a different noun is used in place of a pronoun."

  3. 3
    A pronoun that cannot be pronounced or understood by humans. neologism, rare

    "Also consider the emergence of neopronouns and xenopronouns. The New York Times explains neopronouns reflect one’s identity as “a person, place or thing.” […] It gets even crazier with xenopronouns, which are described as “a type of hypothetical neopronouns that cannot be understood by humans and/or expressed through human language.” Of course, the fact that they cannot be understood by anyone else makes the individual claiming them extra special."
