Comment: The O forms listed below are formed from the A, S, and P forms by attachment of the suffix '-nɑ'. This suffix is in fact only used for non-topical pronouns in the O function while ‘-nuku/-nɑku’ is the suffix used for topical O pronouns (Aikhenvald 2006:139). In addition to this, the A, S, and P forms listed below are those used in non-focused contexts (Aikhenvald 2006:139). The forms used for focused constituents carry the suffix ‘-nhe/-ne’ (Aikhenvald 2006:139). Finally, feminine forms of the plural pronouns listed below, which are unmarked for gender, are formed by attachment of the suffix '-mɑpe' (Aikhenvald 2006:177).
