When they are used they are referred to as "emphatic pronouns". Emphatic pronouns are necessarily of definite reference. They are formed by affixing the possession prefixes to the morpheme ''-al'' for first and second person and ''-kò'' for all other. This is analogous to the English "myself" et cetera. | ||
