== Personal names in the script ==
When written, the vowels are left out and the two consonants are joined together. For a male name, the two consonants are joined by a cross, for female names the two consonants are joined by a curved line that looks a bit like an "s" on its side.

All the above 36 words (xAxA) words and the 2x240 personal names (xExE & xOxO) do not express plurality on the actual word. (You can use the word ALKA)
Notice that the last eight ('''yaja''' to '''fapa''') are plural nouns. You would not normally come across the form, for example, '''gakan''' (maybe in certain circumstances, if you were talking about "sets of sisters" but it would be unusual).
 
GWO ……… member ... GAWO members
UGO ………. group ... WAGO groups
HALGO …… family – this is a good example of a compound word
 
GYA = man
GAYA = men, male
 
BYA = woman
BAYA = women, female


LA = person
Some of the above can take a number stuck on the end. For example;-
LAWA = people, human


'''yayada''' = the third oldest son

Personal names in the script
