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/
