Lakota pronouns are generally in the form of prefixes before or suffixes after the verb:
ti: to dwell ..............wati = I dwell, yati = you dwell, tipi = they dwell (this is where the modern term tipi comes from).
For he or she there is no pronoun, just the simple, plain form of the verb, so:
ti: he or she dwells.
Similarly, yawa = to read ...............yawa = he or she reads
..............kan = to be old.................kan= he is old
................un = to use ...................un= he uses
So the third person (he or she) is not expressed but understood.
