+All pronouns can be used either independently or adjectivally. When a personal pronoun is used adjectivally, it is possessive.
+''Te'' and ''ten'' may be placed after a noun or a non-personal pronoun to indicate that it is the object. This is particularly common when the object has been fronted or when there is no overt subject.
+===''Numa'' and ''nuq''===
+''Numa'' and ''nuq'' are pronouns which refer to place and time respectively. They can be combined with the other pronouns to form combinations such as ''pige numa'' "nowhere" or ''ama nuq'' "then". When used alone, they tend to mean something like "here" and "now", though the exact meaning depends on the context.
+===''Sor''===
+==Numerals==
+Kunesian uses a duodecimal number system. The numbers 1-12 are:
+# son
+# pon
+# tara
+# naike
+# ogat
+# sinai
+# tirai
+# oras
+# korotan
+# sentil
+# mese
+# irek
+Larger numbers are expressed as twelves - irek - units:
+* irek ogat = 17 (12 + 5)
+* tara irek sinai = 42 (3 * 12 + 6)
+The powers of twelve are ''pinai'' (144), ''belu'' (1728) and ''ilarai'' (20736).
