"Common" third-person pronouns refer to objects, akin to the use of English "it", while "neuter" third-person pronouns refer to people, akin to the use of English singular and plural "they". Ancient Yeldha has no attested singular first-person pronoun; these are always inferred from the inflection of the verb. | "Common" third-person pronouns refer to objects, akin to the use of English "it", while "neuter" third-person pronouns refer to people, akin to the use of English singular and plural "they".

Ancient Yeldha demonstratives are inflected on number(singular, plural) proximity(proximal, distal) and connectivity(conjunctive, disjunctive). Only conjunctive forms can be used as determiners; they are placed postpositionally. | Ancient Yeldha demonstratives are inflected on number(singular, plural) proximity(proximal, distal) and connectivity(conjunctive, disjunctive).
