==Ainu==

===Etymology===
Contraction of {{m|ain|okay}}.

===Pronunciation===
* {{IPA|ain|[ò̞ꜛká]}}

===Pronoun===
{{ain-pron|l|オカ}}

# {{q|Saru dialect}} [[they]] {{gl|third-person plural pronoun}}

====Usage notes====
This word is not actually a proper pronoun, but is often used when it is absolutely necessary to point directly to a third person in conversation. The proper third-person pronoun in Ainu would be the lack of any personal pronoun at all, i.e., it has a [[null]] value.
