- So E is second person, and A is first? What are the other persons/pronouns? Rokbeigalmki (which, to merge with your other post, sounds like Arabic to my brother - i don't know enough different languages to characterize it as specifically like any) has pronouns in A E I O U and UH: az = i ez = you iz = she oz = he uz = it uhz = 'singular they' (animate common/epicene) My first conlang, ool-Nuziiferoi, which i worked on with my brother around 7 years ago for a few months, had the same pronouns (i borrowed them for R. later) except with AAZ instead of UHZ. The plural equivalents of the pronouns are made by inserting a M between the vowel and the Z. Rokbeigalmki (i don't remember about ool-Nuziiferoi at the moment) also has non-subject pronouns, which are the same with the Z replaced with a SH. -Stephen (Steg) "it is very blue and soft like a big blue womb" ~ a friend of mine describing her car
