Pronouns are in two categories: singular and plural. For each singular pronoun, there is a plural counter part.
I, me -> tét
we, us (non-inclusive) -> tés
thou, thee -> f'ét
ye, you -> f'és
he, him -> két
they, them (male) -> kés
she, her -> jét
they, them (female) -> jés
s/he, him/her -> jkét
they, them (people) -> jkés
it -> cét
they, them (things) -> cés
one (someone unspecified) -> hét
they, you (unspecified people, people in general) -> hés
himself, herself, itself, oneself (reflexive singular, third person) -> sét
themselves (reflexive plural, third person) -> sés
----------
"we" means "me and some other people" and by default does not include the one addressed: if "we" does mean "me and you", it is recommended to specifically say "me (or us) and thee (or you)" Also, the "thee/you" distinction is just a matter of number, not of respect, poetic register, endearment, etc.
Here, again, all is provisional. The gender-specific pronouns might be dropped; also, the whole list may be changed to make the pronouns more distinct one from another. I mostly just took the Esperanto pronoun list and amended it to make it more symmetrical - that's just something to start from. Also, it is not determined whether animals are properly "jkét/jkés", as they are animate, or "cét/cés", as they aren't people.
