===Interrogatives, Demonstratives & Indefinites===
An interrelated series of interrogative, demonstrative and indefinite words (pronouns, adjectives and adverbs) are formed with prefixes + gender/number affixes + roots denoting place, manner, time etc.
The prefixes are:
* ''f-'' for interrogative words
* ''q-, qr-'' and ''p-'' for demonstrative words (distributed in the same way as determiners
* ''m-'' for indefinites
The roots are:
* ''-ne'' for people and things
* ''-le'' for place
* ''-ntap'' for time
* ''-qim'' for manner
* ''-ku'' for reason
* ''-man'' for quantity
