We now are going to see Pronouns.
Akkia is a Pro-drop language, and it means you can leave the Pronoun off the sentence.
But how we know who is doing what? It depends on what's important.
If "who" is important, then you are going to use the Pronoun.
Don't forget what's important comes first.
Except in the Stative alignment, which is always SVO.

Our language doesn't differenciate singular and plural by affix.
It means all words can be used in both senses at any time, relying on context to disambiguate.
But well, some words are dfined as singular by deafault, others as plural.
So, we use some special words to define this, as "tá" – it means "one unit of" (x).
This way, there are some Pronouns which are naturally plural as words.
If you say "Nawf da ollýna ud aratýna wa", or "You is a wizard and a witch", the Pronoun "nawf" is singular but talks about two or more people, like a unit of people in a relationship –– don't use it as a plural Pronoun, it's singular.
The "non me" and "non you" have special rules to be used.
You can see the "Sa ist" example, with a distinct rule from the standard.

During the game, we approve the use of Pronouns for clarification.
It means you're being "descriptive", but you can also use your sentences without the Pronouns.
We use participation as regular grammar, grouping all those who take part in the action.
Then, if you use "nawfksias", you're talking about a couple amongst various couples.
The same way, "ummuksias" talk about an actor amongst various others.
We don't specify how many when we're using the Participant.
This way, "Enne daka?" is for "Who is?", and you may use the Pronoun before it, for example saying "Awklar enne daka?" for "Who are them?", and we're going to see many more examples during narrative posts and example posts.
I'm still publishing, people are asking me to start again the blog but I'm still working on it.
Please don't think because I'm publishing past posts, that I've halted posting.
New posts are on the past, be it about the Wizarding language, or the game.
We're planning the next Story, by the beginning of 2023 and so on.
I'm working on my version of the Dictionary for the Akkia language, but it's not a final word on the lang -- it's more like "this is what I've done; now, it's up to you to decide where the language goes to", and all wizards and witches are invited to speak Akkia.
We know that Empires with their own languages exist, this the Magic Nation's language.
We are just inviting everyone to speak her, because she's a gift.
This way, I'm here to invite you wizards and witches to learn and speak her.
Akkia is a very useful language, with levels of meanings, or layers.
You can use the same words with special meaning just by changing the level you're saying it.
Levels, or layers, are not declared when we're speaking as Topic does.
Take a look at Language Levels, to see these layers I'm talking about in here.
By declaring the person you're talking to or about, you may topicalize them if you use the Pronoun in first position, so pay attention to first position when you're saying what you want to say, about or to whom you're talking to.
Now, I've said all the basics (Iyawai), so we're start seeing examples next.
I'm planning Classes to become more or less formal, depending on the contexts you're going to use the language.
I, particularly, don't like being too formal, so the Pro-drop characteristic is useful.
But in a formal situation, it's expected that you use the Pronoun.
Thanks for your time, and I hope you're enjoying the reading.
Stay Plugged, Stay True.
