Pronouns of the third person have positive ones and negative ones.
How to Make Them
1) Double the vowel: lu -> luu
2) Add "mi" if positive. Add "be" if negative: luu -> luube
3) Add "n" if possessive: luube -> luuben
4) Add "s" if plural: luube -> luubes, luuben -> luubens
This "n" comes from genitive and this "s" does from the word "se" which means plural.

How to Use Them
luube (this person, negative)
luube lutta (dude)
tu et luuben da. (It is this dude's)
bend luubens (bait for these guys)
baz aku lax tuube a? (u wanna eat such a thing?)
tuumi leeze et laami tauanen anne. (This umbrella belongs to that guest, sir)

Positive pronouns mean affection, politeness, friendliness, inexpensiveness, greatness, large quantity and so on.
Negative pronouns mean the other way round.
