Comment: All plural pronouns listed below may optionally carry the suffix /-ye/ which has the effect of adding a meaning similar to every. Hence, while /gimi/ simply means ‘you (pl.)’, /gimi-ye/ means roughly ‘all of you (pl.)’ (Crowley 1999:127). Note also, /y/ represents what is termed by Crowley (1999:106) an ‘alveolar glide’.
