Pronouns

Oroha has several different types of pronouns:

  • Independent Pronouns
    • Focused Pronouns
    • A/S-function Pronouns
  • Pronominal Suffixes
    • O-function Pronominal Suffixes
    • Possessive Pronominal Suffixes

In general, the following is true of all the pronoun systems in Oroha:

  • They distinguish three persons: 1st, 2nd and 3rd
  • They distinguish three numbers: singular, dual, plural
    • At least in the case of the O-function pronominal suffixes, in the third person, number is apparently only relevent for human referents. All non-humans, regardless of number, are marked as 3rd person singular.
  • There are no gender distinctions.
  • In both the dual and the plural, there is a distinction between 1st person Inclusive, and 1st person Exclusive.
