Third Person Pronouns, Plurality, and Formality in a Theoretical Omegaverse Setting

I don't even like omegaverse like this, and yet because i study linguistics the presence of a secondary gender as a concept fascinates me. If any fanfiction writer feels like making up a bunch of words, please let this be a handy guide. Otherwise this is just me screaming into the void about social classes and how it relates to the English language.

Some facts about English as a language to start with:

Pronouns are functional morphemes, which dictate grammatical function rather than semantic content.

Pronouns can be divided into three categories: person, gender, and number

English no longer has the feature of formality (plural second person receiving a separate morpheme) (in English it’s “you/your/yours”, and the informal was “thou/thy/thine”, but we did away with the informal/singular second person just to be polite to everyone).

In English, the endings of verbs correlate with pronouns (I watch, he watches,) and although it quite lacks in variety, this should reflect the presence of secondary gender/formality rules, but we can talk about verbs later.

My ideas surrounding how a secondary gender would influence pronouns and formality rules:

Because pronouns reflect person, gender, and number, in the case of the third person a secondary gender should create a separate pronoun entirely based on it.

Just because modern English has done away with formality rules, I don't think that a society where your secondary gender heavily influences the way you are treated and perceived would do away with this rule. So I believe that in the case of second person, the singular/informal and the plural/formal would be separate words.

There is a rule often found in European languages, in which the presence of a singular man turns a whole group of women into a masculine third person plural. In this case, a singular alpha would turn a whole group of betas and omegas into an alpha-based third person plural, and a singular beta would turn a whole group of omegas into a beta-based third person plural.

I also made some charts:

Third Person (i copied this structure off of wikipedia)

(Episcene is the neutral singular third person pronoun).

Also I know I left a lot blank, but I study words, I'm not so good at creating them. So if anyone wants to take a crack at it, be my guest

Formality

(informal doesn't have to be thou/thy/thine, it can be whatever you want).

If you take anything away from this, it's that EB Garamond is my favorite font.

What even is this.

Eb’s First Day of Middle School

It was my first time going to middle school, today. Mother assured me it with go well, but I wasn't so sure. What if people don't like me, then it would be so embarrassing. But then I reminded myself maybe my friends, will be there. If that's the case I wouldn't feel so alone, I'll have friends my age to support me.

I opened the door to my school. I closed my eye sockets and breathed. I look around the cafeteria. A sign with 6th graders was on the blue cafeteria table. I sat down on it, I looked around and saw my half-sister Astell there. My face light up, I hugged her. She hugged me back. After being in the cafeteria, the whole day in being in different classes went ok, I guess. Some classes were hard, but that's ok I can improve on them over time
