Maina :
I think this is because it ends in a closed sound when other pronouns end open, so they flow better in speech. The n just kind of halts the sentence unnaturally. Neat history, though.

It didn't catch on because it wasn't authentic. Words come from people and are added to the dictionary. The dictionary forgot its place in the line up. You don't create words and demand that they "catch on".
