[129] The Rev. Father Egedi’s Vocabulary of Oru Lopiko gives the pronouns thus: 

Singular.  Plural.

                1st Person, na, naro. dae, daro.
                2nd Person, ni, niro. ali, alero.
                3rd Person, pi, piro. valo, valoro.

The Possessives are formed with ma:  nema, nima, pima, daema, lima, valoma.

The Interrogatives are:  tsia? who? itara? vaina? what thing? (S.H.R.)

[130] These numerals differ from the Oru Lopiko of Father Egidi.  He gives:  konepu, one; kalotolo, two; konekhalavi, three; maimitara, many; onionipu, few. (S.H.R.)
