Pronouns, continued: the Sovereignty Form

There are ancient forms of the nominative pronouns still used on occasion in modern Vayoti to convey, in a somewhat elevated or poetic way, the connotation that the subject's sovereign prerogative, right, initiative, preference or motivation is pointedly involved in the action. 

Thus, formulating a sentence like "He sold the cow", using the Sovereignty Form of the pronoun, conveys that he is the one who saw fit to sell the cow and acted accordingly, without reference to anyone else's advice or input. 

Although, like in English, there is only one word for "you", which is ka, the Sovereignty Form actually distinguishes between the singular and plural ka. The plural form relates only to a multiplicity of persons and is never used as a respectful term referring to one person.
