"Mrs. Roake," says Gloria, pointing at herself, "Mr. Wax," she points at Max. "Mrs. Roake is a name. Mr. Wax is a name. Sohng is a name?"
"Sohng is a name," agrees Sohng. "Pyay is a name."
Gloria gets some of the little chalk and puts it in three piles - one in front of Sohng, one in front of Max, one in front of herself. Pointing at each pile, she says, "Mrs. Roake's chalk. My chalk. Mr. Wax's chalk. His chalk. Sohng's chalk. Your chalk."
Sohng nods, takes notes, thinks, and then points at Gloria's chalk and says, "Your chalk."
"Yes!" nods Gloria, smiling encouragingly. "Max, do the pronouns thing and we'll hope she picks up on the gender distinction in the third person, some languages don't have those."
