The customary noun in Hebrew grammars to show the enclitic personal pronouns is סוּס/sūs, which means 'horse'.  Horses were unknown in Southeast Asai in the first millenium B.C., and so that meaning of the word became mythical.  The ordinary meaning of スス, however was 'canoe', the meaning we will use here.

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.

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

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.

"Which(ever)"
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
surely with imperfect, not with jussives
