====Personal Prefixes==== | |||
Where either the subject or direct object of a verb is a pronoun, it is marked by personal prefixes. The 1st and 2nd persons distinguish between subject and object prefixes in the singular and plural. 3rd person prefixes make no such distinction. There is also a reflexive prefix, ''si'' used for all persons and numbers. | |||

The prefixes are added to the verb in the order [subject] + [object] + [verb], e.g. ''cutiem'' "I love you", ''lilupitian'' "they saw him", ''lusile'' "he washes himself". | |||
