In particular, it is common for the subject to be deleted when a coreferential pronoun appears elsewhere in the sentence. For example, "pɨnnan haintsɨha kai paikkawaihtɨn" "he won't kill his (own) friend" uses the coreferential possessive pronoun "pɨnnan" and lacks a word for "he" as an explicit subject. Likewise, the subject can be deleted from the sentence when the subject can be inferred from context. For example, in a narrative about one man who shoots another, "u paikkahkwa" "he killed him" (literally, "him killed") is acceptable, because the killer is clear from the context of the narrative.
