* Third person is the most complex. Similarly to the previous others it is inflected for case and number. The third person root is ''Med''. The suffix -''arud'' is added to the end of the word for distal (faraway) and the -''-aqa'' suffix is added for proximal (nearby).
** '''Bumedarud buwalwa nuvelha''' (They [faraway/out of view] eat meat) or '''Bumedaqa buwalwa nuvelha''' (They [close/within view] eat meat).
=== Modifiers and descriptors ===
Adverbs and adjectives are grammatically treated the same, thus linguists do not make a distinction between the two, giving rise to the use of the loose term "modifiers" and "descriptors".
The class Prefix of the noun or verb that the modifier is modifying is attached to the root of the modifier. For example: '''LuBakhilfanya lujikhantalia''' (Gigantic Packilvania) or '''Luashamiliya lurapadin''' (Assimilate(s) quickly). In the case of imperatives whereby the subject of the verb is unclear, the root of the modifier may be used alone, for example: '''Ashamiliya rapadin!''' (Assimilate quickly) If the subject of the verb is known, the class prefix of the subject can be attached to the modifier, for instance: '''Bedu, beenekomimi, berejem berashambalia obeBakhilfanya. Ashamiliya berapadin!''' (You, Nekomimi, must resemble the Packilvanians! Assimilate quickly!)
==== Postpositions ====
The location of the subject, object or instrument relative to another is usually implied by the use of the locative case. However, to specify the relative position, special modifiers called postpositions are used. For example:
* -'''beneyath''': beneath, under or underneath
* -'''ubuv''': above
* -'''ashidi''': beside
* -'''akhansta''': against
* -'''dupa''': on top of, on
* -'''aye''': with (not to be confused with the instrumental case)
* -'''munga''': among
* -'''idaween''': between
* -'''akhrono''': during
* -'''ayn''': within, in
* -'''xepet''': except, excluding
* -'''gurash''': across
* -'''nayeer''': near, close
* -'''joor''': through
* -'''vah''': off
* -'''rotunda''': around
* -'''berefia''': before
* -'''futar''': after
