Notes

  • Bare personal pronouns are not usually employed in neutral sentences in Hantza, those provided above are "emphatic pronouns".
  • Pronouns distinguish animacy not natural gender and only those that are grammatically animate occur in singular/plural pairs.
  • Inalienable words are given with the indefinite possessive prefix bi- or biy-.
  • Some words, e.g. tzaka "man" and bitzaka "husband", are distinguished in Hantza only by their alienability.
