Notes
- ^ Given names with the appropriate titles are often used instead of these pronouns.
- ^ -n before vowels. The ša part of the circumfix is omitted if the verb is used attributively or if the interrogative particle dam is present.
- ^ Behaves as lis- before consonants.
- ^ Irregular present tense: lå, lin, liven then regular class 2 forms.
- ^ Contracted past 3SG: pat.
- ^ "To play" for musical instruments is translated differently depending on the instrument: tulge for percussions, ghūmake for aerophones, prṣake for stringed instruments not played with a bow and keyboards, and lišvake for stringed instruments played with a bow. "To play a melody" is sumorake.
