Unlike the surrounding Peshpeg and Minhast languages, Ín Duári, with the exception of the Anzi Young Speech subdialect, is not a pro-drop language; if an explicit subject or object is dropped, the corresponding pronominal forms must appear.  Thus ''Veiţ vara ţin'' is a well-formed sentence.  Neither the first person or Class 3 forms may be dropped from a clause, unless their referent noun, or a proxy noun, appears.
