→Independent Pronouns
| Line 157: | Line 157: | ||
The independent pronouns show a consistent ergative-absolutive pattern, identifiable by the suffix ''-du'' attached to the absolutive form of the pronoun. The suffix is derived from the Minhast ergative clitic ''=de'', incorporated into the language sometime during the Wolf Speaker invasions of the mid 1800's. This coincided with the rearrangement of the verbal system and shift from its original nominative-accusative alignment to its present-day morphosyntactic alignment. | The independent pronouns show a consistent ergative-absolutive pattern, identifiable by the suffix ''-du'' attached to the absolutive form of the pronoun.
