Personal pronouns
Personal pronouns feature a distinction between three persons:
| ŋọ | |
| sȧ | |
| ɬė |
Unlike any other elements of the sentence, the personal pronouns compulsorily distinguish the number singular from the plural, by placing the plural particle ʔẹ after them:
| ŋọ | ŋọ ʔẹ | |
| sȧ | sȧ ʔẹ | |
| ɬė | ɬė ʔẹ |
Il pronome personale di terza persona viene solitamente usato per referenti semanticamente animati o umani, pur potendo marcare genericamente qualunque referente di terza persona. Per indicare referenti inanimati o non reali si preferisce utilizzare gli aggettivi o i pronomi dimostrativi.
All forms, if adjoined by the postposition sėj, play the role of an indeclinable possessive adjective, being placed before a noun, or the role of indeclinable possessive pronoun, being placed before a demonstrative pronominal form.
ŋọ sėj ta sȧ ʔẹ sėj ma su̇h xȯ my father saw your mother
ŋọ sėj ta sȧ ʔẹ sėj tjı̣n su̇h xȯ my father saw yours
