====Independent Pronouns====
====Independent Pronouns====


The independent pronouns show a consistent ergative-absolutive pattern, identifiable by the suffix ''-du'' attached to the absolutive form of the pronoun.  The suffix is derived from the Minhast ergative clitic ''=de'', incorporated into the language sometime during the Wolf Speaker invasions of the mid 1800's.  This coincided with the rearrangement of the verbal system and shift from its original nominative-accusative alignment to its present-day tripartite morphosyntactic alignment.
