4. The dual is generally observed by the natives. Adjectives used with the dual pronoun take the singular form.
5. The dual is often employed with two subjects one of which is plural.
Ex. _Kakao tu, tsimani u g'anga_, Kakao they two, with the policemen, have started.
When _dani_ is used alone it is generally inclusive of the person addressed, and means "I and thou." If the third person is intended the name is used: _dani Okomi' u da gatsi_, we two Okomi with we will go. _Yani_ is used in a similar way, when one of the persons referred to is not present: _ya, Dun'u yani natsi_, you two Dune with you will go. The use of the conjunction _u(ne)_ with the second member of the subject does not appear to be constant.
6. The pronoun of the third person singular _u(ne)_ when it is the direct object of the verb usually follows, and often takes the form -_unde_.
Ex. _kodigitsi mau_, put it in the dish; _nag' al' unde_, I have seen him.
From the pronouns _na, nu_, etc., are derived by means of the suffix -_muku_, alone, the forms _namuku, numuku_, etc., with the meanings, "I alone, without company," etc.
The suffix -_mule_, is equivalent to self, _namule, numule_, etc., myself, thyself, etc.
From _nani, nuni_, etc., come the forms: _naniende_, or _nanienge_, etc., meaning myself in person, etc.; _nanieke, nunieke_, etc., from -_eke_, alone; _naniova_, etc., it is my business, _nanibila_, I by myself, without help. _Nani endebila_ is more emphatic than _nanibila_.
Ex. _numuku andola_? art thou quite alone? _da gatsi? uniende_; who will go? he himself; _nu da? nanienge_; who art thou? it is myself; _amed' unieke ando_, the chief is alone; _ake muniova_, it is the men's business; _dinieke al' andetsi_, we will stay here alone; _isong' unibila_, his own rainbow appears.
1. These are formed from the simple forms of the personal pronouns by suffixing -_ula(ne)_ literally "his thing."
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_.
