===Pronouns=== | |||
====Personal==== | |||
Personal pronouns exist for each person in the singular and plural, plus a single reflexive pronoun ''si'', used for all persons and numbers. Only the 1sg and 2sg make any distinction between subject and object pronouns. | |||

The subject pronouns are used as the subject of a verb (''tśu'' and ''tu''), e.g. '''''la''' am sa musk'' "she loves music", '''''tśu''' talmip'' "I slept". | |||
The object pronouns are used in the following ways: | |||
* as the direct object of a verb (''mi, ti''), e.g. ''lu am '''ti''''' "he loves you", ''su trakun mankep '''le''''' "the dragon ate them (f.)". | |||
* following prepositions (''mi, ti''), e.g. ''ku '''mi''''' "with me", ''pel '''pu''''' "for you". | |||
* as possessive adjectives following the noun, with or without ''te'' "of", e.g. ''kes mi'' or ''kes te mi'' "my house". | |||
The reflexive pronoun can only be used as an object or following prepositions, e.g. ''si milt tutepan '''si''''' "the soldiers killed themselves", ''nu kantan ku '''si''''' "we sing to ourselves". | |||
