Pronouns

jí = I

úmo = I+you
íme = I+they

These pronouns refer back to words of a certain animacy class:

hóq = it (abstract)
tá = it (adjective)

Attach -bo to pronouns to make genitive words:

jıbo = ___ is mine

Sentence structure

(Complementizer)	(Topic)	Body	(Illocution)
Ꝡa, (declarative)	háq bï,	gı máq jîe nháo	da. (statement, optional)
Ma, (yes/no question)			móq? (question, optional)
Tıo, (degree question)			ba. (wish)
			nha. (promise)

Falling tone

Main verb.

Maı jí súq (da). = "I love you."

Also marks any non-initial word in a serial. If you have a noun phrase, adverb phrase, etc, only the first word "conjugates". The rest stays in . In the example below, only the word káto changes to . The remaining kuo is in .

Maı jí káto kuo da. = "I love the black cat."

Rising tone

Makes a noun phrase out of the first slot of a verb:

poq = ___ is a person => póq = "the person(s)"

ca = ___ causes ___ => cá "the cause(s)"

If a noun for the second slot is needed, use the bo- prefix and the verb form of the word. Note that the last prefix of every word is pronounced with a glottal stop in the middle.

ca => bọ́ca "the thing(s) that was caused"
