Ádeyan Pronouns

4.1  Bare and Full Pronouns

Pronouns, like other nouns, can be definite and indefinite, and specific and nonspecific.  Definite pronouns have three different forms, for first, second, and third person.  Non-specific pronouns take quantifier prefixes for all, some, and none, or a relativizing prefix to make a relative pronoun.  Here is a chart summerizing them all:

These are "bare" pronouns, which is to say, pronouns without classifiers.  To really be used, pronouns need to have classifiers which match referents.  For nonspecific pronouns, whose referents may be of an unknown type, -ra is a default that covers everything.  With classifiers, more meanings can be distinguished, e.g. doxóyen "someone", versus doxóke or doxóju "some animal", or funísen "who of them", versus funísra "which of those things".  Cél and kor are almost always célen and koren, even if the referent of kor is an animal usually classified as -ke or -ju class, though -ke, -ju, or -ra can also be used to make a (usually nasty) comment on the sentience/humanity/intelligence of the person or animal refered to.
