Gender-free pronoun, which performs flexibly as a subject, an object, and a possessive epicene. Pronounced with a shortened vowel sound (like huh), it can be used to replace her, him, she, he, etc. when the gender of the person in question is not known. First
gender-free pronoun to receive official backing, as it was promoted and popularised by the British Library and in the London Review of Books' "
LRB Blog".
Example:
To each hu own.

the solution to the mystery.
Let each user of our
