So you think a mix of pronouns would be less confusing on the reader than one straight-up set to deal with?
My first reaction is that it will be even more confusing. :P But as the writer, I'm obviously not able to see clearly enough on this matter.
I don't know how much you remember of this story, but I've gone back and took out a lot of the "flavor" words I had, preferring good ol' English where possible, and trying to explain my concepts as clearly as possible when not. In light of that, I think the odd pronouns would work. However, my main and most pressing problem with them is: They open the book!
Surefire way to scare off new readers, I'm afraid. :(
