Per is a gender-neutral pronoun invented by Marge Piercy in the novel Woman on the Edge of Time (1976), and used therein by the utopian egalitarian community of Mattapoisett.
In its subjective case it is short for "person". It also serves for the objective case, and the reflexive form for it is perself.
