| ===Conjugation===
| |
| The Tsan conjugation is rather a form of affixation of relevant arguments. The first person is always indicated with a consonant '''w''', the second person with '''k''' and the third person obviate with '''y'''. The third person proximate has no associated consonant.
| |
|
| |
| In tandem with the person affixes, there is always a suffix indicating the grammatical gender, either -'''á''' or -'''u''' for the same gender as the topic, or -'''í''' or -'''a''' for a different gender.
