Personal pronouns
Personal pronouns feature a distinction between three persons:
| ŋọ | |
| sȧ | |
| ɬė |
Unlike any other elements of the sentence, the personal pronouns compulsorily distinguish the number singular from the plural, by placing the plural particle ʔẹ after them:
| ŋọ | ŋọ ʔẹ | |
| sȧ | sȧ ʔẹ | |
| ɬė | ɬė ʔẹ |
The 3st person pronoun usually refers to semantically animate or human entities, although it may technically refer to every entity. For inanimate or unreal entities, demonostrative adjectives or pronouns are rather used.
All forms, if adjoined by the postposition sėj, play the role of an indeclinable possessive adjective, being placed before a noun, or the role of indeclinable possessive pronoun, being placed before a demonstrative pronominal form.
ŋọ sėj ta sȧ ʔẹ sėj ma su̇h xȯ my father saw your mother
ŋọ sėj ta sȧ ʔẹ sėj tjı̣n su̇h xȯ my father saw yours
