Vaiysi grammar revised: pronouns and prepositions

Hi!

This time pronouns and prepositions:

The Pronoun
Vaiysi pronouns are fairly regular inflected, as nouns or adjectives, but
they don't have locative and allative, cases which are expressed with the
absolutive followed by the postpositions ou (locative) and id (allative).
Personal absolutive pronouns are used only for emphasis, the verb indicating
the subject; ergative pronouns are always expressed. As for nouns and
adjectives, there is no gender distinction.

Prepositions
The following chart gives the commonest prepositions, with their base
meanings. Remember that all the prepositions govern the genitive case, which
is, thus, a prepositional case.

a in, between, during
chyem up to, until
e as
el apart, without
fin before
ga(d) from, out of
gadeu out of
hi with
horie between
iyo behind, after
niyn instead of
os under, by
oulis near to; than
riyd about
toullie without
un, uno on, over
voreu next to

Prepositions are phonologically proclitics. This means they never bear
accent.
