Comment: The first person singular A, S and O pronoun listed is described as being in free variation with the forms /m, ŋ, ∅, am/ (Lorenzino 1998:144). Alternate forms for other pronouns are described in the notes for each entry. All possessive pronouns are formed through regular addition of the prefix /di-/, as such all patterns of variation observed in relation to the A, S and O forms also occur in the possessive forms (Lorenzino 1998:142-3). In addition to the forms listed below, the language also possesses an unmarked, impersonal pronoun /a/, meaning 'one, somebody', which can be used in both the singular and plural (Lorenzino 1998:150-5).
