Lesson 1 - k Kn:
Possessive forms of emphatic pronouns

Possessive Pronouns

Singular Plural

1 st pers. tmi mine (m/f) 1 st pers. twa ours (m/f)

2 nd pers. tw yours (m/f) 2 nd pers. tyin yours (m/f)
3 rd pers. thun his/hers (m/f) 3 rd pers. twn theirs (m/f)

Emphatic pronouns have possessive forms derived from being preceded by ti.

A B

mi ti + mi tmi
w ti + w tw
un ti + un tun
wa ti + wa twa
yin ti + yin tyin
wn ti + wn twn

Ti + emphatic subject pronouns above contract to become tmi, tw, etc.

Notice that in the column B, the low tone on the first vowel of the pronoun is retained.

Using possessive pronouns in sentences:

-Tw ni a n
-The cloth is yours

-bdn s p tun ni w n
- bdn said that the book is hers

-Tiwa ni aj yn
-The dog is ours
