It is interesting here to note the agreement in the forms of the
first and second persons singular, with a wide difference in the other
pronouns. Similar words for these two pronouns occur in other Papuan
languages as _e.g._, Kai (Finschhafen) _no_, Kelana Kai _nai_, "I,"
and Bongu and Bogadjim (Astrolabe Bay), _ni_, Kelana Kai _ne_, "thou."

The widespread use of a suffix, used when the pronoun is emphatic,
is noteworthy. The possessive case also is formed as in some other
Papuan languages by a suffix added to the root of the pronoun. _Cf._--

My. Thy. His. Our. Your. Their.
Fuyuge nau(le) nu(le) u(le) diu(le) yu(le) ta(le)
naula(ne) nula(ne) ula(ne) diula(ne) yula(ne) tala(ne)

Sometimes the simple form of the pronoun is prefixed to the noun in
Tauata to indicate the possessive, as in Namau and Koita. Tauata _na
ate_, Koita _di omote_, Namau, _na uku_, "my head."

The numerals also show great differences. As far as "three" they
appear as follows:

Fuyuge. Korona. Sikitbe.
