Creation and Usage Notes

In case you're wondering, yes, this is a bit of an irregular evolution. There was a bit of analogical leveling, resulting in all the singular pronouns having low vowels, and all the plural pronouns having high vowels. Earlier on, this would have been *kya, later developing into *kea, then finally ke.
