In agreeing with many Personal Nouns of various classes, considered as persons, the Verb may receive a Prefix of the ist Class, but in such case the Noun must be prefaced by the Article of the ist Class (if any Article appears at all), not the Article proper to its own Class, although the Attributes of the Noun may concord with its own Class; the 1st Class Article indicates the personification. O mfumu olueke, the chief has come; here the 2nd Class Noun, mfumu, is brought into the ist Class and thus personified ; otherwise it is : e mfumu ilueke. O mbuta aku wizidi, your relative has come, or, e mbuta aku izidi.
