The personal deictic pronouns are portmanteaus of the interjective demonstrative particles, e.g. ''eyha'' (here is), plus the verbal pronominal absolutive affixes, with the exception of the second singular and third masculine singular forms, which appear to be from the clitic attributive forms.  Other forms are ''tāra'' (there next to you), and ''kāmu''/''aššak'' (over there, away from us).  An Invisible form does not occur.

===Demonstrative Adverbial Particles===
===Demonstrative Adverbial Particles===
The demonstrative adverbial particles can be divided into two types: one type is bound to its head by the Connective ''wa='', and the other, an Interjective form, apparently from a different root, that is usually best translated as "Here ''x'' is/are!", "There ''x'' is/are!"  The Interjective forms are not bound by the ''wa='' Connective.
