Putting it together: WAA + The Verbal Subject Pronoun

So how does this work?  To combine these forms with WAA, simply add the "W" (from WAA) to the beginning of the verbal subject pronoun suffix (from previous slide)
I WAA+AAN = WAAN
YOU(SING) WAA+AAD = WAAD
HE, IT(M) WAA+UU = WUU
SHE, IT(F) WAA+AY = WAY
WE WAA+AANNU = WAANNU
YOU (PL) WAA+AYDIN = WAYDIN
THEY WAA+AY = WAY


***WAA DOES NOT HAVE TO GO WITH A VERBAL SUBJECT PRONOUN SUFFIX, IT CAN STAND ALONE BUT IT TYPICALLY IMPLIES THE THIRD PERSON SUBJECT PRONOUN*** 
EX: 
WAA CUNTAY         SHE ATE IT 
WAY CUNTAY         SHE ATE IT


WAA CUNAY            HE ATE IT
WUU CUNAY           HE ATE IT
