I'm not sure I know what you're trying to refer to. If 1psg is the
subject, 2psg is the object, and the verb is "u:dvo:zo:l" ("greet"), then
the sentence would be:

u:dvo:zo:llek

which means, I greet you. The verb in this case is in the definite form,
the -l- affix indicates that the object is 2psg. The indefinite form of
the verb would be:

u:dvo:zl:ok

and the definite with the object being 3psg:

u:dvo:zlo:m

But, I think I've already described this system before.
