Personal Pronouns
Note: the third person pronouns do not possess a gender in the singular nor the plural.

Demonstrative Pronouns
Note: The plural demonstrative pronoun is the same as the third person plural personal pronoun.

Reflexive Pronouns
Note: The usage of the reflexive pronoun is broad. Ofcourse, it is used as a reflecive pronoun as in "minnõn eņtšõn um vajag...," meaning "I need..." [lit: to myself is necessary...]. However, the pronoun can also express posession; it frequently replaces the genitve forms of the personal pronouns. For example: "ma sīeda kūliz eņtš izast," or "I heard it from my father." Also, reflexive pronouns can be used in adverbial expressions: "täm eņtš ie," "this same night."
