Yes. You're right. I stand corrected as to its use. Haven't seen it attributed to Middle English (but haven't had time to research it thst much). Seems that the APA (American Psychological Association - whoever they are) also include "ze" and "hen" as less common opfions. Whoda thunk it. Live and learn. Thanks.

There are a few appearances in Chaucer (although tbf the grammatical rules governing pronouns changed significantly between Middle and Modern English, so it's harder to identify.)
