Usage notes
Normally the subject performing an action is indicated by a prefix to the verb root, not by a pronoun. However, the pronoun pitsu can be used in combination with a verb to emphasize the subject. Compare:
 * Piyawo notsuhoja? (did you take my fishhooks?)
 * Pitsu piyawo notsuhoja? (was it you that took my fishhooks?)
