III. Possessive Pronouns.
1. These are formed from the simple forms of the personal pronouns by suffixing -ula(ne) literally “his thing.”
| Singular. | Dual. | Plural. |
| 1. naula(ne) | 1. daula(ne) | 1. diula(ne) |
| 2. nula(ne) | 2. yaula(ne) | 2. yula(ne) |
| 3. ula(ne) | 3. tula(le) | 3. mula(ne) |
They translate the English mine, thine, etc. Sometimes in compounds the final n becomes nd. Ex. nauland’ aua, here is mine.
2. The adjectival forms appear without the syllable la.
| Singular. | Dual. | Plural. |
| 1. nau(le) | 1. dau(le) | 1. diu(le) |
| 2. nu(le) | 2. yau(le) | 2. yu(le) |
| 3. u(le) | 3. tu(le) | 3. mu(le) |
These adjectives precede the noun which they govern. With personal nouns the forms naula, etc., are sometimes used.
Ex. nau me and naula me, my son; diu vase and diula vase, our guest.
Note.—The form nulu is heard in the phrase nulu babe, thy father.
