Number and person in the verbs are marked by suffixes--the third person singular (masculine) by _bi_ (compare Gonga _bi,_ "he"), or _ani_ (compare Galla _enni,_ "he"), the third person plural by _bi-nini_.
The accusative case in nouns is marked by a postposition, _ku_, as in Hindustani.

The plural of pronouns and substantives is formed sometimes by reduplication.

Thus _ni_ is "him," while _nini_ is "them;" and _Chanaan, Yavnan, Libnan_ seem to be plural forms from _Chna, Yavan_ and _Liban_.
A curious anomaly occurs in the declension of pronouns.' When accompanied by the preposition kita, "with," there is a tmesis of the preposition, and the pronouns are placed between its first and second syllable; e.g.
vi, him''-ki-ni-ta, "with him." This takes place in every number and person, as the following scheme will show:-- 1st person.

2d person.

3d person.
Sing.
