San Martín Peras Mixtec pronouns #
San Martín Peras Mixtec (Mixtecan, Oto-Manguean; ISO 639-3 jmx) has a clitic and a non-clitic
series of personal pronouns, neither inflected for case. The local persons distinguish singular
and plural, and inclusive and exclusive in the first person plural; every local cell except the
inclusive has a form in both series. The nonlocal persons have clitics only, one for each of six
genders: neutral, feminine, masculine, liquid, wooden and animal. Only the neutral and the
feminine have separate plural clitics, so =rà means 'he' or 'they (all male)'. A clitic cannot
be coordinated, stand alone or bear focus. Where the non-clitic series has no form, a clitic is
strengthened by a demonstrative, as in yé yo'o 'we (incl.) here', or by the definite article
mí, which with a clitic also forms the reflexive, as in mí =rà 'himself'.
Implementation notes #
The genders are the carrier Gender.Value, visible only on the nonlocal clitics.
Gender.Value.toLabel gives the comparative label of the feminine and the masculine; the other
four genders have none. A clitic with no plural counterpart has number := some .general, so it
realizes both the singular and the plural third person. The strengthened forms are phrases and
are not entries; neither is the prevocalic allomorph =(y)à of the neutral clitic.

Equations
Instances For
The paradigm #
The personal pronouns.
Instances For
The forms of each referential category.
Instances For
The non-clitic series covers every category the clitics do except the inclusive and the nonlocal persons ((62)).
A gender's clitic also serves the plural exactly when the gender has no plural clitic.
The reflexive of a clitic is the clitic after the definite article mí, as in mí =rà 'himself' ((71)). A possessor may take one without needing it: mí =rí 'its own' ((74)).
