/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  went’
3

ški 

or 

g

(fem.pl.) 

‘Miss.

 Shakin

Pronouns


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.
