The third person pronouns belong to the first paradigm of nouns, and are much more regular than the first and second person pronouns, although not completely regular. Like many other languages, Ris uses the third person pronouns to serve as demonstratives as well. In Ris' case, they are proximal demonstratives. | |||
The patientive inanimate singulative pronoun also happens to be the [[Ris#The topic marker|Ris topic marker]]. | |||
