Personal pronouns

The personal pronouns are:

	1st person		2nd person	3rd person
singular				animate	inanimate
	ɔn		eʂ	uʈ	ug
plural	inclusive	exclusive		animate	inanimate
	ɔneʂ	ɔnɔn	eʂeʂ	uʈuʈ	ugug

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

In the 3^rd person, a double distinction is made. There are, actually, two forms, referring respectively to either 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 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.
