===Nouns=== | ===Nouns=== | ||
Nouns are marked by high tone, except see below. | |||

====Pronouns==== | |||
Pronouns are as follows. | |||
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;" | |||
! colspan="2" | Demonstrative !! colspan="2" | Personal | |||
|- | |||
! this thing (by speaker) | |||
| iä1 | |||
! 1st person | |||
| ia1 | |||
|- | |||
! that thing (by listener) | |||
| üä1 | |||
! 2nd person | |||
| üa1 | |||
|- | |||
! ? | |||

| ïa1 | |||
|- | |||
! that thing (by neither) | |||
| uä1 | |||
! 3rd person | |||
| ua1 | |||
|} | |||
Low tone can be applied to demonstrative and personal pronouns in place of high tone to form demonstrative adjectives and possessive pronouns respectively. This can also be done to articles to form relative pronouns. | |||
===Adjectives=== | ===Adjectives=== | ||

When preceding their noun they are attributive, and when following they are predicative. | |||
Adjectives may also function as verbs. | |||
===Verbs=== | ===Verbs=== | ||
Adjectives are marked by falling tone. | |||
Voice is marked with particles ''s~'' (active), ''s’~'' (relative), ''z~'' (passive). | |||
