- ool-Nuziiferoi and Rokbeigalmki pronouns (almost all the same, since R.'s was based off of ool-N.'s) all are a vowel followed by the letter Z. The plurals are made in ool-N. by adding _ihn_ /In/(if i remember correctly) to the end, and in Rokbeigalmki by adding _m_ in the middle. those are the subject ones... the non-subject pronouns replace the /z/ with /S/. ool-N: i = az you = ez /Ez/ she = iz he = oz it (inanimate/neuter) = uz 'one' (common/neutral gender) = aaz /&z/ R.: all the same except for: 'one' = uhz /Vz/ Going to Natlangs, (and Semitic ones at that!) all pronouns in Hebrew begin with a glottal, either /?/ (i, you-m, you-f, we, you-all-m, you-all-f) or /h/ (he, she, them-m, them-f). All the Aramaic pronouns i know for sure (i, you, he, she) begin with /?/, "we" might begin with /?/ or maybe /n/, i don't know for sure about the others. -Stephen (Steg), who will (if everything stays the same) be taking Arabic 101 in the fall!
