Animate/inanimate is just a grammatical gender category in Oasa (and in
lots of natlangs). Essentially, living things are in the animate category,
while non-living thing are in the inanimate category, with a few exceptions
(in Oasa, vehicles tend to be animate whether horse or car, and weather
phenomena are almost all animate. Some species of trees are animate, some
inanimate; some geological features are animate, some inanimate.)
Verbs in Oasa agree in gender with their objects. So: 'nehasake" -- to fix
an object; but "nehasala" -- to heal someone.

What about simply doing away with pronouns? People might address their
remarks indirectly by using the other person's title.
For example, the teacher says to the student: "The teacher would remind the
student that the homework is overdue." And the student replies: "The humble
student regrets to inform the honored teacher that the dog ate the
homework."
At most, a third person pronoun might be useful, but all those other
persons seem unnecessary as long as everyone has a title relative to
everyone else. Kinship titles would cover most of the ground, and in
extreme situations the title "stranger" could be used. Among close friends
the given name could be used.

Wouldn't this become a bit cumbersome after a while?
The teacher poked the teacher in the eye with the teacher's pen.
Or the king saying, "The king wishes the king's wife to attend the king now".
I would prefer to say, "The teacher poked himself in the eye with his pen".
Or have the king say, "I wish my wife to attend me now".

Isn't that basically how Japanese works? (I recall a discussion on
this topic not too long ago.) Many nouns can potentially be used with
anaphoric intent, and words that are typically interpreted as pronouns
are just nouns that happen to have been used in that capacity with
sufficient frequency that they've become semantically bleached.

The awkwardness is avoidable if you a) have an extensive pro-drop
system so you don't need to make those references anyway and/or b) you
have a relatively small set of more generic titles that can be used in
place of the fully specific ones once a topic has been established.

It is difficult as soon as the terms are unwieldy.
Eg: The forest which the Seleken call Itaikalda and the Lajik call Itak-ba
contains a river, which culminates in a small, hidden lake. Many fishes, which
are unique to the area live in /the river and the lake/. Janahita Kansu and
Eskali Sixedil and Hisi Karu, all of the Hito ethnicity and thus not on any
side in the dispute about this area had done a lot of research about it.
/Janahita Kansu and Eskali Sixedil and Hisi Karu/ deem /the river and the lake/
a one of a kind find in the area, due to the conflict which meant that no
permanent settlements disturbed the wildlife of /the river and the lake/. As
such, /Janahita Kansu and Eskali Sixedil and Hisi Karu/ deem the conflict
blessing in disguise.

Or simply use titles:
Teacher to student: "Teacher would remind Student that the homework is due."
Student to Teacher: "Student regrets to inform Teacher that the dog ate the
homework."
I understand that Thai does this sort of thing, even between mother and
child.

Can be fixed with use of pro-drop, demonstratives, and other strategies:
"The forest which the Seleken call Itaikalda and the Lajik call Itak-ba
contains a river, which culminates in a small, hidden lake. Many fishes,
which are unique to the area live [here]. Janahita Kansu and Eskali Sixedil
and Hisi Karu, all of the Hito ethnicity and thus not on any side in the
dispute about this area had done a lot of research about it. [*dropped*]
deem [this place] a one of a kind find in the area, due to the conflict
which meant that no permanent settlements disturbed the wildlife
[*deleted*]. As such, [*dropped*] deem the conflict blessing in disguise."
It should be noted that others have mentioned language that have so-called
"open class" pronouns that effectively do function the same way as using
"titles" as pronouns -- and can even be quite specific in the social
relation they attach to (I think in the Conlangery episode on pronouns we
mentioned a language which had a specific pronoun for some sort of
shaman-like figure).

That's just eliminating anaphors entirely, though, and replacing them
with the full noun phrase everywhere, which is not what Gary
suggested. Try something more like this:
The forest which the Seleken call Itaikalda and the Lajik call Itak-ba
contains a river, which culminates in a small, hidden lake. Many
fishes, which are unique to the area live in /the waters/. Janahita
Kansu and Eskali Sixedil and Hisi Karu, all of the Hito ethnicity and
thus not on any side in the dispute about this area had done a lot of
research about it. /The researchers/ deem /the waters/ a one of a kind
find in the area, due to the conflict which meant that no permanent
settlements disturbed the wildlife [pro-drop]. As such, /the
researchers/ deem the conflict blessing in disguise.
I had an idea a while ago for a similar idea where the typical nouns
chosen for anaphoric reference were already-generic terms for
"speaker", "hearer", "subject of discussion", etc. This has the
interesting property that, while certain nouns are *usually* used as
first-person references, and others are *usually* used as
second-person references, it's fairly easy to come up with situations
where the interpretations are reversed, or both are shifted to
third-person.

Maybe a different pronoun for "outsider" would be realistic. A race or
species could have different pronouns to refer or speak to people from
inside and outside the group, but having many different pronouns for a
lot of races or species seems improbable. They would likely be
stereotipical and probably offensive words.

It's part of this guide I'm going through for one thing, and for another,
how would you say something "I like him?" I'm not sure how much sense that
would make.

Subject: Re: Creating A Prononominal System
I've been reading Foley's "The Papuan languages of New Guinea" and it lists
some pretty strange ways for splitting the pronominal space. The most
insane system are the singular pronouns of Ngala:
1.SG.M wɨn
1.SG.F nyɨn
2.SG.M mɨn
2.SG.F yɨn
3.SG.M kɨr
3.SG.F yɨn
First of all the language extends the masculine/feminine split into not
only the second person but all the way to the first person. On top of that
it doesn't distinguish the feminine second and third person singular
pronouns. I guess you have to have quite strict gender rules in your
society in order to make this kind of a system stable. Related languages
don't appear to be as insane as Ngala and only distinguish M/F in their
second and third person pronouns. They also have distinctly shaped pronouns
for both persons in both genders with the 2.SG.F pronoun providing an
obvious cognate for the Ngala 1.SG.F pronoun. The languages are also
reasonable in not extending the gender distinction into their dual and
plural pronouns.
Another strange feature of many Papuan languages is that there is
apparently often a connection between the second person singular and first
person non-singular pronouns. As an example Foley gives the personal
pronouns of Suki:
SG PL
1 ne e
2 e de
3 u i
Many languages of the area also make only partial person distinction in
their non-singular pronouns. So for example Awa contrasts in plural _ite_
(1/2.PL) with _se_ (3.PL) and Iatmul in dual _an_ (1.DU) with _mpɨk_
(2/3.DU).
Some of these features are very strange and I would have considered them
wildly unnaturalistic if I would have encountered them first in someone's
conlang.
None of the conlangs I'm working with does anything too strange with their
personal pronouns. I'm including a first person inclusive pronoun in Kišta
(which I'm just parsing together from a decade of sketching) that goes back
to a form *šən(ə). This can be broken down into the first person plural
pronominal base *šə and a suffix *-n(ə). The same, or at least very
similar, suffix has also worked as the dual suffix of nouns and can be seen
in various pair derivations in modern Kišta, such as:
*malə > malla ("eye")
*malə-n > malan ("the pair of eyes")
My rational for this development is that in discourse the first person dual
seems to be much more biased towards inclusive use ("you and I") than first
person plural. If the dual number erodes away, the first person dual
pronoun might just survive because of its inclusive use and generalise out
of the dual meaning. I don't know if such development is attested from any
natural language and would be glad to hear if anyone else knows.

Oh so many errors:
In my experience anyway, raspberries are often linguolabial trills, not
bilabial trills.
Coughing up a popcorn husk? I could be wrong, but that doesn't seem right.
I guess some people use a uvular trill to imitate growing. I use it to
entertain babies.
"Tsk" is a _dental_ click.
Not sure on the lateral fricative.
