This study aims to clarify the relationship between Udihe verbal derivational suffix –du and person marker. In conclusion, Udihe verbal suffix –du is proved to optionally work as the third person plural marker in the finite verb form, which is a very unique way for the Tungusic languages since most of Tungusic either optionally or necessarily marks the third plural person with the plural suffix -l. This unusual phenomenon is presumed to result from the fact that Udihe lost the common Tungusic nominal plural suffix –l in the process of phonetic change. The similar case of marking the third plural person with verbal derivational suffix in the finite verb is also found in Kirghiz of the Turkic languages.
