Personal pronouns
Personal pronouns feature a distinction between two forms for the direct case. The first form (named direct1) is used as the subject of the clauses, for every kind of verbs. The second form (named direct2) is used as the direct object of the clause, for transitive verbs, and with every preposition requiring the direct case.
Moreover, the first two persons (1st and 2nd) have two different roots, exhibiting thus a mixed declension. On the other hand, the 3rdperson has only one root, displaying, however, a similar irregular declension.

| ho | ne | ješ | huno | neno | ježno | |
| hore | nere | ježre | hunure | nenure | ježnure |
When used alone, the forms for the direct and indirect object tend to be placed before the conjugated verb in the sentence. Their positioning after the verb is regarded as a marked position.
Examples:
ɔddo ješ ejjužejdo əjs I didn't see him
ɔddo ejjužejdo əjs ješ As for him, I didn't see him
Anyway, these pronouns are placed after the negative adverbs.
