In Tupi Antigo, the
3p
3rd Person (they/a'e/i/-î-/-îo-/s-/-s-/-îos-)
does not distinguish between singular and plural; context will dictate which is more likely. TIP
The
3p
3rd Person (they/a'e/i/-î-/-îo-/s-/-s-/-îos-)
pronouns can equally mean he/she/they/it.WARNING
In the English language, it is not uncommon to employ the pronouns they/them/theirs
in both plural and singular contexts.

3p
3rd Person (they/a'e/i/-î-/-îo-/s-/-s-/-îos-)
as they where it may be more natural to use he/she.← Roots Indicative Mood →
