The relative pronoun in PAH seems to be derived from the Akkadian/Ugaritic pronoun *ðu-. The progress of the consonant seems to have been *ð > *z > *s. For single-word relative clauses, the relative pronoun acts as a proclitic particle. Otherwise, it stands alone and receives stress on the penultimate/only syllable (as one would expect). | The relative pronoun in PAH seems to be derived from the Akkadian/Ugaritic pronoun *ðu-.

Nouns
Like everything in PAH, nouns are generally derived from tri-consonantal roots. There are some one-letter-root words. They are all masculine.
- グ/gu - noise
- ヅ/du - this
- ス/su - who
- プ/pu - mouth
- ス゚/cu - ship
- ク゚/ŋu - mouse-deer
In the singular-construct state, they are monoptotic and the vowel changes to -ey.

Pronouns
Personal - Independent
Personal pronouns are often omitted, except in verbless clauses. There are two forms: one can exist independently and the other is a suffix attached to the construct/pronominal-state noun.

Relative
The relative pronoun in PAH seems to be derived from the Akkadian/Ugaritic pronoun *ðu-. The progress of the consonant seems to have been *ð > *z > *s. For single-word relative clauses, the relative pronoun acts as a proclitic particle. Otherwise, it stands alone and receives stress on the penultimate/only syllable (as one would expect).

Far
The 3rd person personal pronoun is used as if it were a far-deitic pronoun/adjective.
Interrogative and Indefinite
Unlike all the other pronouns, these inflect for personal vs. impersonal, not gender. Note, the dual and plural forms are sometimes used for emphasis against a single referent.
Interrogative
case | Who? | What(ever)? | # |
---|---|---|---|
D | ミ̅ユ mīyu |
マ̅ mā |
sing. |
G | ミ̅マ mīya | ||
I | ミ̅乂 mīyi | ||
D | ミ̅ヨ̅ミ mīyōmi |
マ̅マ̅ māmā |
dual |
O | ミ̅マィミ mīyaymi |
マ̅マィ māmay | |
D | ミ̅ユ̅マ mīyūma |
マ̅ム̅ māmū |
plural |
O | ミ̅乂̅マ mīyīma |
マ̅ミ̅ māmī |
Indefinite
These forms often take enclitic pronouns. Again, there are personal and impersonal forms, not genders.
case | personal | impersonal | # |
---|---|---|---|
D | マッヌ mannu |
ミ̅ヌ mīnu |
sing. |
G | マッナ manna |
ミ̅ナ mīna | |
I | マッニ manni |
ミ̅ニ mīni | |
D | マッヌマ̅ mannumā |
ミ̅ヌマ̅ mīnumā |
dual |
O | マッヌマィ mannumay |
ミ̅ヌマィ mīnumay | |
D | マッヌム̅ mannumū |
ミ̅ヌム̅ mīnumū |
plural |
O | マッヌミ̅ mannumī |
ミ̅ヌミ̅ mīnumī |
The dual and plural of mannu can be used impersonally. The construct forms are man- and mīn- in the singular and mannum- and mīnum- in the dual/plural.
Adverbs
These attach to the indirect/oblique case of the singular noun.
- -(a)h
- This is similar to the Old English "-ward" suffix, as in 'earthward' or 'heavenward'. It can be used locally or temporally. Note, this can be identical to the 3rd person feminine singular possessive suffix. 'ahdh = together
- -(a)m
- This makes a noun into an adverb, like the English "-ly" suffix.
- -yda
- Like the English "times", this attaches to numbers. e.g. tinayda = twice
Independent adverbs include
- tm
- there
- hlm/hlny/hnny
- here
- `nt/`tn/ht
- now
- 'apnk/'idk
- then, thereupon
- 'axr
- afterwards, after
- 'al

- kn
- thus
- mid

- 'ayka(m)
