Eviendadhail has six persons.  Each has a consonant associated with it,
which is used to conjugate verbs and form pronouns.
They are, in standard orthography:

r - 1st person exclusive - we (and maybe they)
l - 1st person inclusive - we (and maybe they) and you
n - 2nd person exclusive - you
m - 2nd person inclusive - you and they
th - 3rd person concrete - they (people or things)
dh - 3rd person abstract - they (ideas or places or times)

Yes, it is a little crazy.  I do this to draw a line between the
listener (you) and all other parties, if that makes any sense.
