Comment: There are nine noun classes. For the personal pronouns "The third person (referent) forms for all noun classes but 1 and 2 are formed in a regular manner. The pronoun consists of a root and a complex affix. The root is a concord morpheme from the appropriate class. The complex affix consists of a prefixed Ń- and a suffixed -nɛ̀." p320 The possessive pronominal forms provided here are roots that take one of 9 noun-class prefixes. p327
