"Paucal" pronouns refer to groups of people, as in ''weh kri'' would mean "some of us", ''yu kri'' means "some of you all", etc. | "Paucal" pronouns refer to groups of people, as in ''weh kri'' would mean "some of us", ''yu kri'' means "some of you all", etc. Paucal pronouns are thought to have been borrowed from [[Dadamo]], constructed by a combination of pronoun + ''kri'' (lit. "three"), as is typical for paucal pronouns in Dadamo(''ta nuk'', ''pe nuk'', ''lolo nuk''). The third-person paucal pronoun, ''imim''/''emem'', is thought to have been derived via [[Ketaserang]] reduplication, a feature typical of Ketaserang for forming plural pronouns. | ||
