+: Qwbmwdqwg is easy.
+:''Qw'''b'''mw'''d'''qw'''g''' kwt. Qoo Kwskwskwskws kwt.''

+=== Emphasis ===
+The emphatic pronoun is ''koo'' in all persons and numbers. It serves the same role as Irish emphatic forms.
+* ''qoo'''s'''mw'''s''''' 'I go'
+* ''qoo'''s'''mw'''s''' koo'' / ''koo qoo'''s'''mw'''s''''' '<i>I</i> go'
