 # Pronoun
 
-Pronouns usually have nominal morphology, though not strictly.
+Pronouns are nominal anaphora, that is, short words that are used to refer to a
+noun or a noun phrase.  Pronouns usually have nominal morphology, though not
+strictly.  Pronoun is a closed class.
 
+## Personal pronouns
+
+There are 15 personal pronouns in total.  Dual pronouns and 1st person
+inclusive pronouns are in fact formed by compounding others.
+
+| person | singular | dual     | several | plural   |
+|--------|----------|----------|---------|----------|
+| 1st    | fènsy    | fènvynsỳ | jaächsỳ | rèëchsý  |
+| 1st (inclusive) | | fèndynsỳ | jaächdynsỳ | rèëchdynsý |
+| 2nd    | tènsy    | tèndynsỳ | néëcsỳ  | ngeënsý  |
+| 3rd    | lúcsy    | lúccynsỳ | bóönsỳ  | waanjsý  |
+
+### Reflexive
+
+Reflexive pronouns occur as clitic.  They are formed by removing the gender
+vowel and number tone from corresponding personal pronoun.
+
+> I-nom.wo.sg I-acc-look-ind.pst.cnt mirror-dat.mt.sg  
+> *I was looking at myself in the mirror.*
+
+It also works for indirect object:
+
+> he-nom.wo.sg he-dat-buy-ind.fut.prf birthday-gift-acc.ea.sg  
+> *He'll just buy himself a birthday gift.*
+
+There is a difference between reflexive and reciprocal for plural pronouns.
+
+> you-nom.dual you-acc.sg-love-ind.prs.cnt  
+> *You love yourselves*
+>
+> you-nom.dual you-acc.dual-love-ind.prs.cnt  
+> *You love each other.*
+
+Note: there is also a idiomatic use of reflexive pronouns:
+
+> I-nom.wa.sg I-gen-be.ind.pres.cnt  
+> *I am alone.*
+>
+> car-acc.mt.sg I-nom.wa.sg I-gen-repair.ind.pst.prf  
+> *I fixed the car myself.*
+
+## Indefinite pronouns
+
+Indefinite pronouns are best organized in a table:
+
+|         | | query | proximal | distal | indefinite | collective | relative |
+|---------|-|-------|----------|--------|------------|------------|----------|
+|         | | -an-  | -em-     | -es-   | -im-       | -om-       | -y-      |
+| time | t- | tan-  | tem-     | tes-   | tim-       | tom-       | ty-      |
+| place| f- | fan-  | fem-     | fes-   | fim-       | fom-       | fy-      |
+| manner| z-| zan-  | zem-     | zes-   | zim-       | zom-       | zy-      |
+| possessive | k- | kan- | kem-| kes-   | kim-       | kom-       | ky-      |
+| what, who | s- | san- | sem- | ses-   | sim-       | som-       | sy-      |
+| which | l-| lan- | lem-      | les-   | lim-       | lom-       | ly-      |
+| demonstrative | r-| ran-| rem- | res- | rim-       | rom-       | ry-      |
+
+TODO: Add explanation
+
+Relative pronouns occur as clitics, in the same manner reflexive pronouns do.
+
+> I-nom-fi-sg know-ind.prs.cnt woman-acc-wa.sg rel-help-ind.pst.prf you-acc-wa-sg  
+> *I know the woman who helped you.*
+
+Other pronouns are used in similar way to personal pronouns.
