Reflexive pronouns

Last updated: Dec. 8, 2025

The -ol suffix on a pronoun indicates a reflexive pronoun:

Ongol wendege
"he hit himself"

The pronouns are

  • engel
  • nongol
  • ongol
  • yogol
  • wogol

These words had been suggested to mark possession earlier in CLA. That seems a possibility still, but primarily we're now thinking they are reflexive.

They might also be used for prominence, but they could be both reflexive and prominence.
