A gender neutral pronoun emerged in Swedish a couple of years ago ("hen", instead of him "han" and her "hon"), and is now rather popular. Fascinating with cultural evolution.
I've always been fascinated by epicene pronouns and the great lengths we go to in English for want of them. There have been many, many attempts to install them in English, by the way. I think I like "thon" and "ith" best.
