É:so iá:kon "-on" is the root, itsin reference to an amount of people Example: Kaié:ri niiákion (niiátion) "Four of us" Kaié:ri nítsion (nítson) "Four of you" If you remove the ni- (quantifyer suffix) and the pronominal prefix (tsi, iaki), you are left with the root -on. Then add the prefix for "she" or "someone" or "they" which is iako iako + on = iá:kon "é:so iá:kon" - literally "lots they amount" "many people!" I hope my linguistic approach helped!!
