Comment: Unlike the North Antiguan dialect, the South Antiguan dialect lacks a gender and animacy distinction in the third person singular A,S, and O forms (Farquhar 1974:48). Note however that, as discussed in the comments to the relevant entries below, a gender distinction is maintained between masculine and feminine third person singular possessive forms in the object function ((Farquhar 1974:48).
