As so often in Chimariko, the Salinan pronominal elements of the first person frequently, if not regularly, displace or contract with the initial vowel of the stem or displace the vowel of a preceding element (e.g. ko- ; k-e-, k-a ). Examples of Salinan forms in e- and a- are:

Note that i- of iya, iyax (for i- cf. Washo iye ; for -x < -k‘ c.f. Chimariko -uwa-k-  < -uwa-, -uwa-m-  and Yana -k‘i- , e.g. ni-sa- , ni-k‘i- ) is displaced by first person plural pronominal a- as in Chimariko (e.g. ya-mitcit-ni , h-imitcit-ni ; stem -imitcit-, cf. Hokan *imi- ).
