Numbers

Cardinal numerals are placed in the same syntactical position as other quantifiers, but they cannot head a noun phrase and are thus always preceded by a determiner. Ordinal numerals behave like nouns syntactically.

	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
unit	na'o	ta'o	ha'o	ma'o	ya'o	tsa'o	ka'o	pa'o	sa'o	ue'o
x10	x	x	x	x	x	x	x	x	x	x
ordinal	kina'o	kita'o	kiha'o	kima'o	kiya'o	kitsa'o	kika'o	kipa'o	kisa'o	kiue'o

Personal pronouns

Personal pronouns in --- inflect for three cases (nominative, accusative, and possessive), and have an animacy distinction in the 3rd person (more or less along the line of human vs. non-human). Note that the paradigm of the possessive pronouns is defective, with a number distinction existing only in the first person.

	nominative	accusative	possessive
1sg	e	ə	axe
2sg	lɛñɔ	lɛño	adɔ
3sg anim.	loru	luru	ayru
3sg inan.	loyo	luño	ah
1pl	wi	wɛ	aymɛ
2pl	wɛñɔ	wɛño	adɔ
3pl anim.	wəru	waru	ayru
3pl inan.	wayo	waño	ah
