Usage notes

For personal pronouns without suffixes, the ergative marking is not used.

For example,
মই যাওঁ, মই খাওঁ।
moi zaü̃, moi khaü̃.
I go, I eat.
Here যাওঁ (zaü̃, “go (1st person)”) is intransitive and খাওঁ (khaü̃, “eat (1st person)”) is transitive, but the subject মই (moi, “I”) doesn't get the ergative marking.
তহঁত যাৱ, তহঁতে খাৱ।
tohõt zao, tohõte khao.
You guys go, you guys eat.
Here তহঁতে (tohõte, “you (plural, ergative)”) gets the ergative marking because it has the plural suffix -হঁত (-hõt). Other plural suffixes used in personal pronouns are: -লোক (-lük), -সকল (-xokol) etc and the non-plural honorific suffix -খেত (-khet) (used in তেখেত (tekhet), এখেত (ekhet)) also gets the marking.
