Nkra does have pronouns marked for _voice_, if that's sufficiently
satisfying? ;) In addition, there are also predicate pronouns. TAM is
usually marked on the verb.
je = I:nom:active
jye = I:passive
je kie (active) = I agree.
jy kie (passive) = I am agreed with.
je neadej io er estime (active)
I gave you:dat milk:acc
/jine:ade'ji Er 'EstimE/
I gave you milk.
jye neadej estime (passive) = I was given milk.
/jei@ ne:ade'ji EstimE/
