I've been putting this off because _table of 80+ forms_. No, come back, it's all very simple and regular and not crazy at all. Basically, there are two demonstratives, one which is used for anything that's present/visible/tangible ("this"), and one that's used for anything that's absent/invisible/intangible, not for things that are just farther away ("that"). The first one uses -cq- as its root (taken from [ye olde definite article](http://nowordsforsnow.tumblr.com/post/37729729842/number-articles-definiteness-and-specificity), natch), and the other uses -sr-. To the front of these roots attach shortened forms of the [number prefixes](http://nowordsforsnow.tumblr.com/post/37729729842/number-articles-definiteness-and-specificity) (ō, ì, and xî for dual, collective, and plural respectively, with singular unmarked), and to the end attach a series of class stems which are as follows:  However, after the singular form, the class stems are simplified as well, mostly into single vowels. There's some discussion of which vowels get picked and why [on the site](https://sites.google.com/site/nowordsforsnow/articles-and-demonstratives) (which is also where I screencapped the tables from, since they are looking pretty small on tumblr), but I want to save detailed discussion and examples for when I do adjectives, since the same basic principle applies and that's when there's going to have to be a productive morphology. Until then, here is the full table of demonstratives.  Note that Lime and Teal are exceptional in that non-sigular forms don't reduce to a single vowel for the class stem. Some of them are similar, but not identical - non-singular Rust and Olive forms are the only ones that are _actually_ identical. All of the -sr- forms are otherwise identical to the -cq- forms. These can either stand in for a noun without mentioning it explicitly, or they can precede a noun, taking the place of an article. I'll do adjectives, complete with examples including information from this post, the articles+number post, and the numbers/numerals post next week, and I'll put up some translation exercises later for people to try out if they want, since I got some positive feedback about that idea.
