The Basic ones are also those who appear in the middle of the verb. For example: ''I'' sent ''him/her/it'' a letter. '''Him''' is considered a basic/first level pronoun, or, oblique pronoun. It is the indirect object of a verb. | The Basic ones are also those who appear in the middle of the verb. For example: ''I'' sent ''him/her/it'' a letter.

I sent him a letter, would be: | I sent him a letter, would be: Tyacyirjaposònabuno''lei''. In this case, ''lei'' is the dative indirect object pronoun form of 'le', ''Patientive he/she/it''. In this example, 'Tya' is the Pegative form of the Agentive ‘I’. | ||
Sometimes, contractions can happen, for example in 'Give it to me': Instead of 'Rutthinapo''tai''l-e', where ''tai'' is the dative indirect object pronoun form of 'ta', ''Agentive ‘I’ '', on older texts, it may be written as 'Rutthinapo''til'' '. Other common (and correct) contraction involves contracting the two pronouns and putting them on both pronoun spots; Subject and Incorporated pronoun. For example: (You) Say sorry to him -> The pronouns are Vyi(You(Agentive), Pegative) and Lei(He/She/It, Dative, Indirect Object) -> Vyi + Lei = vlii -> Instead of ‘Vitthireilei’ -> Vliitthireivlii. | Sometimes, contractions can happen, for example in 'Give it to me': Instead of 'Rutthinapo''tai''l-e', where ''tai'' is the dative indirect object pronoun form of 'ta', ''Agentive ‘I’ '', on older texts, it may be written as 'Rutthinapo''til'' '.

Other basic pronouns include the ones that follow adpositions. For example: It’s not for you: | Other basic pronouns include the ones that follow adpositions. For example: It’s not for you: Lecyisurimu'ris', where 'ris' is the dative direct object pronoun form of 'ru', ''Patientive you''. | ||
Reflexive and Reciprocal pronouns also exist, for example: Write the text yourself!: Vitthittuugipu'vou', where 'vou' is the reflexive form of 'vi', ''Agentive you''. If in case of the object already being mentioned before, when replaced by 'it' then, it would appear in the default form after the first pronoun, being literally: Write yourself it. In this case, the phrase would be: Vitthittuvoul-e. Yes, when pronouns are clitics or just appear after, the first phoneme is transferred into the final of that group of affixes, so 'le', would be 'l-e', as seen in the example, however, this does not affect the pronunciation. | Reflexive and Reciprocal pronouns also exist, for example: Write the text yourself!: Vitthittuugipu'vou', where 'vou' is the reflexive form of 'vi', ''Agentive you''.
