Moreover, the third person Bhojpuri pronouns differ from each other in terms
                           of spatial distance. They are either proximal or distant, as shown in (4a-b):

                              (4) a. ई एकर बेटी िहअ ।
                                    i      ekʌr       beʈi      ɦiʌ

                                    i      e-ʌr       beʈi      ɦiʌ
                                    PROX  PROX-GEN  daughter  be.3SG.PRES.F

                                    ‘This is his/her (prox) daughter.’ (14.257)
                                 b. ऊ ओकर बेटी िहअ ।

                                    u     okʌr      beʈi      ɦiʌ

                                    u     u-ʌr      beʈi      ɦiʌ
                                    DIST  DIST-GEN  daughter  be.3SG.PRES.F
                                    ‘That is his/her (dist) daughter.’ (14.258)

                                 Going through Table 14.1-14.3, we conclude that Bhojpuri exhibits the
                           distinction between three persons (first vs. second vs. third), two numbers (singular

                           vs. plural) and three degrees of honorificity (non-honorific vs. mid-honorific vs.
                           honorific) in nominative personal pronouns. They are suffixed by -नी /-ni/ or -अन /-

                           ʌn/ or postposition लोग /loɡ/ or सभन /sʌb ̤ ʌn/ as plural marker. Similarly, they are

                           suffixed by -ए /-e/ or followed by के /ke/ for their accusative case roles. They retain
                           with these accusative marker suffixes and along with postposition ला /lɑ/ or खाितर


                           /kʰɑtir/ for their dative case roles, as well as, suffixed by -आर /-ɑr/ or -अर /-ʌr/ or with
                           postposition के /ke/ for their possessive case roles in Bhojpuri. Moreover, the

                           possessive suffix -आर /-ɑr/ is observed only with first and second person but -अर /-ʌr/

                           with all three persons. Diachronically, it signals -आर /-ɑr/ is the later development.

                           14.2.2 Demonstrative pronouns
                                 Bhojpuri has demonstrative pronouns (Grierson 1884a:18-22, Tiwari

                           1960:132-7 and 1984:447-53, Nirbhik 1975:49-50, Tripathy 1987:93, Shrivastava
                           1999:49, Sharma and Ashk 2007:11-2, Thakur 2011:68-9 and Singh 2013:55-6)

                           almost similar to what we have described third person singular non-honorific
                           nominative ones. But while we discuss demonstrative pronouns, they appear in three

                           forms: proximant, distal and remote spatially. They are used to refer to both animate
                           and inanimate entities. The animate entity may be human or non-human.
                           Demonstrative pronouns are also used to code the definiteness of the referent in
