+*'''''am''''' is used when the 3SG takes the position of the object in a sentence. As a subject it will be referred to as '''''I''''' for masculine, feminine and neutral.
+The 1SG form <span style="color: Green">  '''misɛf''' </span> is not attested in our corpus. But
+the following dialog taken from the Wikipedia  articel ''Krio Language'' <ref> Krio Language Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krio_language - accessed 10.09.2016) </ref>
+shows the form in use:
-{| class="wikitable"  width: 70%;"
+:''Kushe.'' - "Hello."

+:''Kushe-o.'' - "Hello."
+:''Wetin na yu nem?'' - "What is your name?"

+:''OK, a de go naw.'' - "OK, I am going now."
+:''Ɔrayt, wi go tok bak.'' - "Alright, we will talk again."
+In some cases, as the 2PL,  we show two forms  which seem to be orthographic variants.
