Pronouns
Like Japanese, Sirius does not require pronouns in most places, especially when context is enough. Instead you can use a name, species, title, or whatever.
Like English, Sirius pronouns have different forms for subject and object, but unlike English they are not marked for person or number; thus there is no difference between "I" and "she" and "they"; hi is used for all of them.
However, a distinction is made between in-character (IC) and out-of-character (OOC) pronouns. There are also possessive forms.
| subject | subj. poss. | object | obj. poss. | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IC | heaw | herraw | zomaw | zorraw |
| OOC | hi | hear | zom | zor |
