So Pronouns.

Pronouns will of course decline for case (and gender/class where appropriate).

Personal Pronouns

• First Person Singular
• First Person Dual Inclusive (me and you)
• First Person Dual Inclusive (me and a third person)
• First Person Plural Inclusive (us and you)
• First Person Plural Exclusive (us not including you)
• Second Person Singular
• Second Person Dual
• Second Person Plural
• Third Person Singular
• Third Person Dual
• Third Person Plural

Not quite as baroque as Mountain's personal pronouns though the dual forms are an added twist though quite common in real human languages as are the exclusive and reflexive form.

Interrogative Pronouns

• Which
• What
• Where
• Who
• When
• How
• Why

Pretty much the same as English - not very imaginative I guess. Now do they have whence and whither as well I wonder? I suspect they would. Hmm...

Demonstrative Pronouns

• This
• That
• Yon (if there was ever an archaic word that needed resurrecting it's yon. That nearby and that over there is such a useful distinction)
• These
• Those
• Is there a plural of Yon? Anyway they have a pronoun for "those over there"

I'm not sure how they handle Indefinite Pronouns yet. I think they handle the qualifiers like adjectives. I haven't even thought about adjectives yet.

Tomorrow a bit of word making - Nouns and maybe a few more verbs.
