Personal pronouns
Personal pronouns feature a distinction between three persons:
| no̱ | |
| sā | |
| lē |
Unlike any other elements of the sentence, the personal pronouns compulsorily distinguish the number singular from the plural, by placing the plural particle e̱ after them:
| no̱ | no̱ e̱ | |
| sā | sā e̱ | |
| lē | lē e̱ |
The 3st person pronoun usually refers to semantically animate or human entities, although it may technically refer to every entity. For inanimate or unreal entities, demonostrative adjectives or pronouns are rather used.
All forms, if adjoined by the postposition sı̄, 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.
no̱ sı̄ da sā e̱ sı̄ ma sū hō my father saw your mother
no̱ sı̄ da sā e̱ sı̄ d́ı̱n sū hō my father saw yours
