While nouns obey the ergative-absolutive alignment rules, person marking on the verbs follows nominative-accusative alignment rules. The agent/subject person is realized as a prefix, while the object is realized as a suffix. Many of the person markers for prefixes are wholly dissimilar to their prefix counterparts, though most exhibit a shared thematic consonant. The following table shows the paradigm of the positive copula, '''R-Y-D''', with marking made for the object identical to the agent/subject. | While nouns obey the ergative-absolutive alignment rules, person marking on the verbs follows nominative-accusative alignment rules.
