Because elves typically do not have a gender, elvish pronouns do not match the binary “he/she” construction common to English. Elvish pronouns begin with X, meaning that I am the only participant in the A to Z Challenge who had an easier time finding a word for X than he did for J.
Elvish pronouns are as follows:
He/she: Xe
His/hers: Xir
The genderless “they” and “their” can be used for multiple elves.
My theme for this year’s A to Z challenge is my series The Benevolence Archives. You can learn more about the series by going to the Amazon page for Volume 1 here or add it to a Goodreads shelf here.

But I never did work out how to pronounce Xe/Xir.

I’ve been pronouncing the X as a Z.

Many, probably most, words in English that start with X are derived from Greek where, to this day, the letter ξ is pronounced ‘ks’. I tried that, but it doesn’t roll off the tongue as easily as ‘z’.
