Personal pronouns
The personal pronouns are:
Unlike any other elements of the sentence, the personal pronouns compulsorily distinguish the number singular from the plural.
In the 3rd person, a triple distinction is made. There are, actually, three forms, referring respectively to either human beings, animated beings or inanimate entities.
For the 1st plural person, two forms are distinguished. The first form is called the first inclusive plural person, which includes both the speaker and the listener, while the second form is called the first exclusive plural person, which includes the speaker but excludes the listener:
All forms, if adjoined by the prepositions kṓ or lḗ, play the role of an indeclinable possessive pronoun, being placed after a demonstrative pronominal form.
