NOMINAL, PERSONAL AND POSSESSIVE ENDINGS
Bornidalgie does not have personal pronouns as such. The pronominal endings mark the SSNN with the grammatical person. For example, waikyla (“I, the man”). The third person as such does not exist. They are the endings of number. There is only the 3rd obvious mark.
Deictic pronouns can be constructed from demonstrative pronouns. For example, with the demonstrative e nka you can form nkakyla (“I”). Forms marked with ergative or accusative are personally defined from verbal agreement. For example kyponri nkaǰ suing (“I eat an apple”).
