A distinct common form of pronoun exists, but it is mostly replaced by the masculine form of corresponding pronoun. The secondary construction is eśit - it/he makes.

The third construction is h'iśat yat (causative) - it/he causes, causes someone to do.

The fourth construction is n'iśat (si) - it/he is doing (with itself)

The fifth construction is əśt li-, and it is passive form of aśāt 'construction.

The sixth construction is iśāt li-, and it is passive form of eśit.

The seventh construction is hi'ośt li-, and it is passive form of h'iśat yat, respectively.

There are also 3 nonstandard constructions that are mostly used to form adjectives and participles.

The first aux. construction is hiśə'aśt, and it means "acting, active".

The second aux. construction is itxə'aśt, and it means "made".
