The so-called ''ipse'' ({{sc|ipse}}) marker '''-aq''' refers usually to the most salient previously mentioned NP. If there is no specific NP it is automatically assumed to refer to the speaker, i.e. it then corresponds to what other languages would call the first person. | The so-called ''ipse'' ({{sc|ipse}}) marker '''-aq''' refers usually to the most salient previously mentioned NP.

Likewise, the equivalent ''alter'' ({{sc|alter}}) marker '''-se''' refers usually to the second least salient NP. If there is no specific NP to pair with, it is either assumed to refer to the listener or an unspecified grouping of people depending on context. | Likewise, the equivalent ''alter'' ({{sc|alter}}) marker '''-se''' refers usually to the second least salient NP.
