Personal pronouns

The personal pronouns are:

	1st person		2nd person	3rd person
singular				human	animate	inanimate
	ɔn		eš	ucmi	uc	ucɑ
plural	inclusive	exclusive		human	animate	inanimate
	ɔneš	ɔnɔn	ešeš	ucumi	ucuc	ucucɑ

Unlike any other elements of the sentence, the personal pronouns compulsorily distinguish the number singular from the plural.

In the 3^rd person, a triple distinction is made. There are, actually, three forms, referring respectively to either human beings, animated beings or inanimate entities.

For the 1^st 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.
