How the new words will work

BUSINESS WORLD

THE RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD
If a Supreme Being is thought to be neither male nor female the new pronoun would work like this:
Nominative

Nis power is endless.

Independent Possessive

IN THE ANIMAL WORLD
The Irish Setter's name is Red and ne (nominative) has a healthy coat of hair, although nis (possessive) tail needs to be combed. Ne can't do it nemself (reflexive). Someone will have to comb that tail of nis (Independent Possessive). Will you do it for ner (Objective)? 

BABIES OF THE WORLD
Blue might signify a boy, pink for a girl. What if the baby wears other colors?
When meeting an adorable infant, one could say, "Oh isn't ne sweet?" It is possible no one will notice that neither he nor she was said. If a parent hears the "n", they may say the child is a girl or boy, but at least they won't be correcting the speaker. 

WRITERS AND SPEAKERS
Simplified quotations

We all walk in the dark and each of us must learn to turn on nis own light.

                                                                                                                        ~ Earl Nightingale ~


If Benjamin Disraeli were to be politically correct today, he might say,

The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches, but to reveal to ner nis own.

Note on potential usage:
A preferred singular subject would not need to be changed to a plural subject when the new neutral third person singular personal pronoun is used. 

Current: 

A child is proud if he or she can tie his or her own shoes by himself or herself.

A parent should also be proud of him or her. 


Using the new neutral third person singular personal pronoun:

A child is proud if ne can tie nis own shoes by nemself.

A parent should also be proud of ner. 


Current: A person must mind his/her manners. 
Using the proposed pronoun:

A person must mind nis manners.
