Hence declension begins with the formation of the plural number. This consists in the addition of the syllable k`wa.
| Acĕ | = | horse; | ácĕ-k`wa | = | horses. |
| Atsla | = | tree; | atsla-k`wa | = | trees. |
| Awinĕ | = | house; | awinĕ-k`wa | = | houses. |
In the pronouns there is as little inflection as in the substantives and adjectives, i. e. there are no forms corresponding to mihi, nobis, &c.
1. When the pronoun signifies possession, it takes an inseparable form, is incorporated with the substantive that agrees with it, and is s- for the first, w- for the second, and i- for the third person singular. Then for the plural it is h- for the first person, s`- for the second, r- for the third: ab=father;
| S-ab | = | my father; | h-ab | = | our father. |
| W-ab | = | thy father; | s`-ab | = | your father. |
| T-ab | = | his (her) father; | r-ab | = | their father. |
2. When the pronoun is governed by a verb, it is inseparable also; and similarly incorporated.
3. Hence, the only inseparable form of the personal pronoun is, when it governs the verb. In this case the forms are:
| Sa-ra | = | I | Ha-ra | = | we |
| Wa-ra | = | thou | S`a-ra | = | ye |
| Ui | = | he | U-bart` | = | they. |
In sa-ra, wa-ra, ha-ra, s`a-ra, the -ra is non-radical. The word u-bart` is a compound.
