/or/ is an honorific marker and it occurs after the human nouns such as
indicating kinship or personal names. When it occurs with kinship nouns it
always functions as masculine plural noun in concordance and with others
only as plural of the noun to which it is added. This /or/ is also
inflected like the noun of M2 class. A few examples
are :
|
basir |
or |
geya |
(mas.pl.) |
|
‘Mr. |
Basir |

Pronoun is a class of words used in the place of nouns. Like noun these
are also infected for number and case but pronouns (except human
indefinite pronoun) lack pronouns (except human indefinite pronoun) lack
vocative case. The noun stems have three case forms viz., direct, oblique
and vocative in two numbers : singular and plural; similarly the pronouns
have two case forms direct and oblique in two numbers: singular and plural
but in certain pronouns such as 1st and 2nd person pronouns, case
suffiixes are fused with the pronominal bases and isolating them is a
problem. The declined forms of 1st and 2nd person pronouns are given
because of the morphological fusion which has taken place with some forms.
In the third person pronouns only the direct and oblique forms are given.
|
On the basis of person distinction all the pronouns of the language can
be classified into First person, Second person and Third person. All the
pronouns except the First and the Second person are Third person pronouns.
Third person pronouns are further sub classified into proximate, remote,
relative, interrogative (human), interrogative (non human), indefinite and
indefinite (human). Indefinite human pronoun is also
inflected for
vocative case forms in both the genders like M1
and F1 nouns.
