Personal pronouns
Personal pronouns feature a distinction between three persons:
| wo̱ | |
| θā | |
| ðē |
Unlike any other elements of the sentence, the personal pronouns compulsorily distinguish the number singular from the plural, by placing the plural particle he̱ after them:
| wo̱ | wo̱ he̱ | |
| θā | θā he̱ | |
| ðē | ðē he̱ |
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 preposition θı̄, play the role of an indeclinable possessive adjective, being placed after a noun, or the role of indeclinable possessive pronoun, being placed after a demonstrative pronominal form.
ta θı̄ wo̱ θū xø̌w ma θı̄ θā he̱ my father saw your mother
ta θı̄ wo̱ θū xø̌w ʂı̱́n θı̄ θā he̱ my father saw yours
