No as a part of a subject

1. Hi. Can you please tell me if this sentence is gramatically correct:

He knew so many English words no Englishman does.

I'm looking for different ways (preferably short or colloquial, if there are any, variants) to end this sentence. I would appreciate if you give several other examples.

2. Is no Englishman a subject of the subordinate clause?

3. Also, will it be correct to use the pronoun none? :

He knew so many English words none Englishman does.
