Grammar[]
Nouns[]
Nouns have no case, definiteness, or gender, although they do inflect for number. There are 3 pronouns (1st, 2nd, and 3rd); the 3rd person is unmarked and does not inflect for anything.
Pronouns[]
Freeglian has polypersonal agreement, and thus pronouns are affixes attached to verbs.
| 1st person | 2nd person | 3rd person |
|---|---|---|
| p(a)- | kh(u)- / k(u)-* | (-)(u)- |
The third person is unmarked, and thus does not inflect for person marking
*k(u)- is used when preceding a consonant, while kh(u)- is typically used when preceding a vowel.
