Notes

"<C>" as the first letter of the word

Denotes that the words starts with a consonant (e.g. t, k,s, ', etc.)

"<X>" as the first letter of the word

Denotes that the word starts with a cluster of two (or more) consonants (e.g. "sny")

"<L>" as the first letter of the word

Denotes that the word starts with a consonant, but also causes a set of special effect on the pronoun (most notably, causes pronouns ending with a vowel to lengthen the vowel [hence the "L" for "Long"])

"[<vowel>]" or "<something>[<vowel>]"

Denotes that the vowel in the brackets replaces the initial vowel of the word.
For example the pronoun "un[ö]-" (they[inanimate]/objective) + the word "-atênínö" (to sell) becomes "unötênínö" (they are sold).

"??"

Denotes that I, the humble author of this page, do not know what the pronoun is. If a pronoun is added to the "??", then it is only my humble guess.
