There are no gendered third person pronouns in Nawuhu, though some older translations of excavated texts translated the third person pronoun as "he". Today, most translators translate the ''ain'' pronoun as "they".

Like adjectives, ~~genitive~~ pronouns are placed after the possessee, so "my car" is ''jido jo'' lit. "car my".

Like adjectives, possessive pronouns are placed after the possessee, so "my car" is ''jido jo'' lit. "car my".
