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 double distinction is made. There are, actually, two forms, referring respectively to either 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 preposition gü, 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.
vuɣner nuʔ ɽanʔan gü eʂeʂ hosʔan gü ɔn my father saw your mother
vuɣner nuʔ uʈ gü eʂeʂ hosʔan gü ɔn my father saw yours
