Forming questions
===================

I just want to add something important towards the
another way of forming question by adding ' diyu'
after the noun at the end and to use the usual question
intonation like : mem'h'r diyu? ^Is he a teacher?.
What I want you to add is that there is a conjugation
form for 'diyu', as 'diyu' implies to the third person
singular. 

The conjugation is as follows:
-----------------------------------

*********************************************************
Singula *
________________________________________________________*
*
1. Person diye? am I? *
2. Person diKa? are you? *
2. Person f. diKi? are you? *
3. Person m. diyu? is he? *
3. Person f. diya? is she? *
--------------------------------------------------------*
Plural *
________________________________________________________*
*
1. Person dina? are we? *
2. Person diKum? are you? *
2. Person f. diKin? are you? *
3. Person diyom? are they? *
3. Person f. diyen? are they? *
--------------------------------------------------------*
Formal *
________________________________________________________*
*
2. Person m diKum? are you? *
2. Person f. diKin? are you? *
3. Person m diyom? are they? *
3. Person f diyen? are they? *
