 == Pronouns ==
 Magahi pronouns are quite a bit more complicated than English pronouns, and, unfortunately, most of our source is in third person, so few pronouns other than "i" and "u" are used. However, here are some examples of pronouns other than "i" and "u" in some fairly complex sentences.
-* {{transferTest|mag|eng|Tab sādhūwā kahlan ke, jā tu.|Then the saint said that you go.}}
+* {{transferTest|mag|eng|Tab sādhūwā kaHlan ke, jā tu.|Then the saint said that you go.}}

 * {{transferTest|mag|eng|Hamrā kuch sikhawān ke bāt kaHa.|Say to me some things of advice.}} KaHa rather than kaHiṃ like in the source because kaHa is the modern ending according to our other source.

 Notice the first adds a postposition after "saint" where the english one doesn't. <br/>
