The chief use of this series is exactly the same as that of English 

 possessive pronouns, being usable both when the noun is expressed 

 and omitted; it is also required by certain verb-forms to express 

 subject. Examples: ansudamu n ja, my dog was seen; anmu n ja, mine 

 (s.) was seen; anthalhua, I remember (him, her, or it). 



The series is clearly derived from series I. -ma n , identical with the 

 animate plural noun postfix -ma n and here regularly contracted to 

 -w-, is added to show animate plural of the noun; it is also added to 

 show animate and inanimate singular of the noun with dual and 

 plural possessor except in first person. — u— , identical with the —u— 

 inan. pi. of series I, is postfixed to show inanimate plural. The forms 

 in -na n - present no irregularities, *ana n — and *mana n - being regu- 

 larly contracted to -an- and -man- before — »— . The first person dual 

 and plural and second person singular pronouns show k— , which does 

 not appear in the corresponding forms of series I but has its counter- 

 part in other Tanoan languages; while the first and third person 

 singular show forms quite different from those of series I. 



The only ambiguity within the series is the identity of the first 

 person singular and third person dual used with plural nouns ; and of 

 the first person singular and third person dual forms in -na n -.
