Some examples of the pronomial prefixes used with Orcish verbs, introduced in the last post:
jihgin /d͡ʒɪ̃˨̃˨gĩ˦n/ “I see” (as in a general act of seeing, but not if a specific sight is mentioned)
quigin /kʷĩ˦gĩ˦n/ “I see you”
rihgin /rɪ̃˨̃˨gĩ˦n/ “I see him/her/it/them”
sigin /ʂĩ˦gĩ˦n/ “I see y’all”
nkigin /ᵑkĩ˦gĩ˦n/ “you see him/her/it/them”
joygin /d͡ʒõĩgĩ˦n/ “you see us”
gin /gĩ˦n/ “he/she/it sees him/her/it/them”; “they see them”
chogin /t͡ʃɔ̃˞gĩ˦n/ “you see me”
