people really want to separate nounself pronouns from other neopronouns, and if you're looking for a way to look only for neopronouns not based on any existing words, the solution is not saying that nounself pronouns aren't neopronons.
Make a word for pronouns like ze/hir and ae/aer and other sets that aren't nounself pronouns.
nounself pronouns are neopronouns.
so if you want a way to look for non-nounself neopronouns, then those kinds of neopronouns need their own name!
How about just novapronouns? it's short and to the point. Neo is the greek word for new, so how about nova, the latin word for new, for neopronouns that aren't nounself pronouns?
Novapronouns = pronouns like ae/aer, ze/hir, ect.
Nounself pronouns = pronouns like bun/buns, star/stars, ect.
Neopronouns = nounself, novapronouns, and any other pronouns that fall under this umbrella.
Neopronoun is the umbrella term, and nounself and novapronoun are more specific categories under the umbrella.
there you go. have fun.
Edit #1: here, have a pride flag too! Different shades of purple because I like purple and I think it's a very space themed color :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[ID: Two versions of the a pride flag with five horizontal stripes of: berry purple, dark magenta, white, very dark violet, and purple. The first is shaped like a square, the second is shaped like a wide rectangle. End ID.]
Free pride flags! The second one should, in theory, fit perfectly as a tumblr header! Feel free to use them for literally anything you'd use a pride flag for, including designs you sell!
Edit #2:
And for extra fun, pronoun sets that create actual new rules and do away with the -self suffix at the end or have a pronoun replace contractions can be called supernova pronouns :) because it's an epic name. (can be spelled with a space or as all one long word)
Supernova pronouns = xiy/rik/ix/sirav, izi/(ito)/av/avi/fiself (ito replaces any contractions that would otherwise be izi'd or izi's)
Edit #3:
Here's a link to the post with this flag, a supernovapronoun flag, and more!

(For posterity in case this takes off, this post is being made on November 28th, 2022, 8:20PM. I decided to make this because I'm in the middle of making pronoun pins for 275+ different sets.)
