Summary
Akachenti appears to have an underlying system of four persons:
| gloss | person | singular | plural |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-EXCL | first person exclusive | I | you and I |
| 1-INCL | first person inclusive | of us, I | we |
| 2 | second person | you | you |
| 3 | third person | he, she, it | they |
In practice, person is at the heart of the agreement system and can be quite complex.
