Personal pronouns

Personal pronouns feature a distinction between three persons:

1st person	ɔn
2st person	eʂ
3st person	uʈ

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

	singular	plural
1st person	ɔn	ɔnɔn
2st person	eʂ	eʂeʂ
3st person	uʈ	uʈuʈ

Alla prima persona plurale si crea, tuttavia, un’altra forma, derivata dalla fusione del pronome singolare di prima persona con il pronome singolare di seconda persona.

Questa forma esprime il pronome di prima persona plurale inclusiva (ossia in cui il “noi” include sia chi parla sia chi ascolta), mentre la forma reduplicata passa ad esprimere la prima persona plurale esclusiva (ossia in cui il “noi” include chi parla ma esclude chi ascolta):

	singular	inclusive plural	exclusive plural
1st person	ɔn	ɔneʂ	ɔnɔn

The 3^st 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 preposition koː, 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.
