Animate third-person pronouns refer to any animate noun, so they can refer to people (as in ''Sumpit '''evo''''' "'''They''' walk"), animals (Genesis 7:2 ''...tades op '''tor''' kavin'' "...the male and '''his''' female") and other animate nouns (''Tepusint dudvarda op hegarsint '''tar''''' "[He] reached the capital city and destroyed '''it'''"). Inanimate third person pronouns were also historically used to [[w:Dehumanisation|dehumanise]], to refer to [[w:Enslavement|slaves]] or Dark elves, or to derogatorily refer to people the speaker disliked, such as Meskion's famous line ''Tulkombi demet Nagriponi pasani, vokikte op hegarsikte '''ovas'''.'' "Those who object to Nagripian politics, I will [humiliate] (lit. sodomise) and destroy '''them'''".
