Which listed subject pronoun means “we”?

The work lesson builds a future expression with subject + gaɣ + infinitive + complement. It identifies gaɣ as a form of kawʋ “to be going to”. The examples below retain the infinitive after this element instead of conjugating it as an English or French future tense.

In the source construction, what form follows gaɣ?
The Academy’s report of its July 2024 session, published in December, recommends marking high tone only; an unmarked syllable is read with low tone. Our examples retain each publication’s notation. Always compare the form with its cited page.
