Personal pronouns
Personal pronouns feature a distinction between three persons:
| ɔn | |
| eʂ | |
| uʈ |
Unlike any other elements of the sentence, the personal pronouns compulsorily distinguish the number singular from the plural, through reduplication:
| ɔn | ɔnɔn | |
| eʂ | eʂeʂ | |
| uʈ | uʈuʈ |
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 koː, 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.
buːgnez ŋuh ʐanhan koː eʂeʂ roshan koː ɔn my father saw your mother
buːgnez ŋuh uʈ koː eʂeʂ roshan koː ɔn my father saw yours
