Observe that in these sentences the subject of the verb is 
placed at the end; and if we place it at the beginning of the 
sentence, as in using nak, who, or, ha, that one, then we must

ri, himself. qui, themselves. 
They are placed after active and absolute verbs, as follows: 
tin loSoh vi, I love myself. 
ta loXoh avi, thou lovest thyself. 
ti loXoh ri, he loves himself, ete. 
The same meaning may be expressed thus: 
qui loSon vi, I love myself. 
cat loXon avi, thou lovest thyself. 
ti loXon ri, he loves himself.

cat loSon avi, thou lovest thyself. 
ru camican ri, he is killing himself.

conveys the idea of universality, as, loSobalrijl, the love which 
one has for all; mathabalrijl, the reverence which one has for 
all.
