Comment: Third person forms, as in most other Dravidian languages, have two forms depending on distance: a proximal form meaning 'this, he, she (near)' and a distal meaning 'that, he, she (far)'. Since the choice is based only on distance, and there is no gender distinction (here, unlike in the case of e.g. Tamil) the language is treated as having gender syncretisms and the same forms (the proximal) are entered for both genders.
