Enderian only uses first and second person.

	Sbj Eng	Sbj	Obj Eng	Obj	Poss Adj Eng	Poss Adj	Poss Prn Eng	Poss Prn
1st person	I	o	me	o	my	o	mine	o
2nd person	you	ég	you	ég	your	ég	your's	ég
3rd person	they		them		their		their's
3rd thing	it		it		its		it's
1st person pl	we	li	us	li	our	li	our's	li
2nd person pl	you	ég	you	ég	your	ég	your's	ég
3rd person pl	they		them		their		their's

Any 3rd person reference uses the noun. Sometimes, when referring to human friends, they will use the human's preferred pronoun in said human's language. They may not always use the correct pronoun for the situation, such as using "he" when the proper pronoun was "his".

Noun

When referring to something owned by oneself, the pronoun goes after the thing, indicating the ownership of the noun in front.

Examples:

Verb

When referring to oneself doing an action, the pronoun goes before the action - the verb 'owns' the person in that moment.

When doing an action for another, the pronouns go in order of who is doing to who.

Adjectives

Adjectives are 'owned' by the thing they're being attributed to.

When using a list of descriptions, the pronoun is after each adjective.

Exceptions

Knowing

Knowledge is treated as an object that is owned, therefore the verb "to know" is treated as something that is owned.

And the lack of knowledge (verb "to not-know") is something which is also owned.

Giving and Offering

There are two forms of the verb "to give":

When giving to one another, they're treated as including the pronoun in the word, with the exception of "o'ov" when used to mean "offering".

Proper Nouns

Proper nouns (names) are treated the same as pronouns in every scenario, with the exception of giving or offering things. The name of the owner goes in front of the object. The name going behind would either remove implication of ownership, or would turn "I give" into "offer".

Correct:

Incorrect:

"Offer" is treated as a noun for ease of recognising what someone's intention is with these words. When used with the first person, it is treated as a verb once more. This is the only situation in which a pronoun is not included with the word.

Endermen treat the Ender Dragon (gerok) as a proper noun, while all other animals are regular nouns.
