====Creation and Usage Notes====
{{djpnotes|quote=As we were coming up with Engála's pronouns during [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4-xQNPuRXA&t=6360s episode 110 of LangTime Studio], we hit upon an incredible idea for the first person plural pronoun. We would use a shortening of the word ''[[ungwéda]]'' which means "warren" (as in a rabbit warren). I went through the process of shortening the word via regular morphological lenition and ended up with [we], which coincidentally looks ''exactly'' like the first person plural pronoun of English. A viewer on our stream (user name LightDhampire) came up with a name for this: Serendipitous Convergent Linguistic Evolution. To turn this into a proper word, I added "We" to the end of it (as a reminder of what word led to the word's creation), and thus was born the term SCLEW.
