-g- = reflexive

-an = 1SG.NOM [also 1SG.GEN]

-la = NEG

<e> - [ɛ] is a "buffer", non-morphemic

In o jèu and o toi, they're like disjunctive particles, serving to make the pronouns emphatic (< hoc). In o loac it's just the masculine singular indefinite article (< unu). Both are pronounced the same, as : [nǝˈkosǝ ˈkom ˈsɛmpru kuˈjɛu̯ ˈtɛɲ nǝˈfaʃʃǝ uˈtɔi̯ tɨŋˈdre uˈlu̯ak ǝ ǝsɨˈdzarte]

I think one is proper noun, but the other words are otherwise unintelligible to me.
