I am reading the book 'On the Steel Breeze' by Alastair Reynolds and whenever he is writing about Travertube, he uses 've' or 'ver' or 'vis'.
For instance in the following sentence:
Travertube's a minor detail in this. Ve never got further than the
pod. It wouldm't work for ver - it's a genetic lock.
My question is, what does it stand for? And how is it pronounced?

Who or what is ‘Travertube’? It looks like it’s supposed to be a gender-neutral pronoun like ze, etc., but it’s hard to tell from just that one snippet.

Basically they're gender-neutral pronouns invented for Travertine.
