 # Pronoun
+
+Pronouns have similar conjugations to nouns, but with slightly more irregular
+morphology.  It also doesn't distinguish between paucal and plural (but the
+distinction still shows on verbs and adjectives it inflects)
+
+## Singular
+
+| case | I    | thou | ze (an.) | it (inan.) | generic |
+|------|------|------|----------|------------|---------|
+| nom  | te   | mi   | vo       | yat        | yo      |
+| acc  | tena | mina | voma     | yam        | yona    |
+| dat  | teta | mita | voca     | yak        | yota    |
+| gen  | tera | mira | vora     | yoor       | yera    |
+
+ze: singular genderless third-person pronoun used to avoid inconvenience of
+"he/she" as well as the ambiguity of singular "they".
+
+## Plural
+
+| case | we/ex | we/in | you    | they (an.) | they (inan.) |
+|------|-------|-------|--------|------------|--------------|
+| nom  | seté  | mite  | chomí  | chovö      | boyät        |
+| acc  | setén | miten | chomín | chovöm     | boyäm        |
+| dat  | setét | mitet | chomít | chovöc     | boyäk        |
+| gen  | setér | miter | chomír | chovör     | boyör        |
+
+Note:
+
+Prefix <i>se-</i> denotes humility and <i>cho-</i> denotes respect, so when
+referring to friends or younger family members or children, using se- is more
+common.  On the other hand, only chieftains and oldest member of a tribe can
+use <i>cho-</i> to refer to self (i.e. <i>choté</i>), but they're rarely
+together to use it.
+
+Prefix bo- is almost only used for inanimate pronouns and nouns, but can also
+be used for someone one really despises, like an enemy.
