=Personal pronouns

Personal pronouns feature a distinction between three persons, and, unlike any other elements of the sentence, compulsorily distinguish the number singular from the plural:

singular
plural
1st person
go̱ gø̱
2st person
sæ̱̏
3st person
bȅ̱

The 3st person pronouns usually refer to semantically animate or human entities, although they 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 sɪ̄̀ (used as a postposition), 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.

go̱ sɪ̄̀ ta sū̀ xō sæ̱̏ sɪ̄̀ ma
my father saw your mother
go̱ sɪ̄̀ ta sū̀ xō sæ̱̏ sɪ̄̀ tı̱̋
my father saw yours
