===Suprasegmentals===
Kiwi has a sophisticated system of [[w:tonal languages|tones]], as well as stress. Only final syllables may get tone, and all final syllables but those with a [[w:glottal stop|glottal stop]] coda, get a medium, default tone.
There are four tones in the language, '''medium''', '''rising''' and '''falling''', '''low''', and '''high''' tone. The last three tones only occur when a vowel precedes a word-final glottal stop, all others get a medium tone.
''To be continued.''

====Personal pronouns====
There are only [[w:Grammatical subject|subjective]] personal pronouns in the Kiwi language, and they are not used in the same contexts as in English. They are independent, thus not agglutinable. All persons do not exist for all classes of personal pronouns, and many classes have been put together.

====The zeroth person and indefiniteness====
The so-called zeroth person ({{sc|0}}) in the Kiwi language, is a catch-all indefinite pronoun. It is used to convey the following meanings:
*''someone'', ''anyone'', ''all''
*''one'', ''a''/''an''
*''you'', ''they'', ''one'' (generic) The usage makes it equivalent to ''[[wikt:man|man]]'' in German, Swedish, et al., French ''[[wikt:on|on]]'' as well as ''[[wikt:ei|ei]]'' in Finnish. ''To be continued''.

There is no unipersonal agreement in the Kiwi language; an intransitive verb, one that does not take an object, dos not conjugate according to the subject. Instead you use the personal pronouns or noun phrase in question.
