In Kana (=Khana) (Benue-Congo, Niger-Congo), the combination of specifier \u2018lo\u2019 and emphatic personal pronoun is used to denote \u2018X-self\u2019. The specifier \u2018lo\u2019 usually refers to a singular, presupposed and definite noun (Ikoro 1996).In Hova (Malagasy dialect) (Borneo, Western Malayo-Polynesian), the combination of an article and personal pronouns is used to form emphatic pronominal forms (Brandstetter 1913 (mentioned also in Moravcsik 1969: 76)). In Quiche (Mayan), for emphasis personal pronouns can occur with demonstratives and articles (Schultze 1933).In Bigis (=Buginese) (Sulawesi, Western Malayo-Polynesian) and Somali (Cushitic, Afro-Asiatic), full personal pronouns are formed by attachment of an article to an enclitic or “short” pronominal forms (Brandstetter 1913, mentioned also in Moravcsik 1969: 76, Reinisch 1903).In Tzutujil (Maya), the definite article is often used with non-third person pronouns when they are topics or subjects (Dayley 1985).
