My latest attempt combines the exolang k/l pronominal scheme with hierarchical agreement on the verb. The precedence is:

k > l > Coref > 3 > 0

There's also an m pronominal which combines k and l. Coref represents 2 markers: one is used on attribute forms and the other for all other coreference. Agreement marking is split into 2 suffix slots. The first marks person; these are k:l, k:other, l:other, m:other, Coref:other (2 markers), and 3:other, where other depends on the second slot. The second fuses alignment, valence, number, and coreference; the combinations are:

subject > unspecified (intransitive)
subject < unspecified (passive)
subject > 3rd person singular
subject < 3rd person singular
subject > 3rd person plural
subject < 3rd person plural
subject > coreference *
subject < coreference *
subject > self (reflexive)

* Do these also need to distinguish attributive form other coreference??

As usual, I'm having trouble filling in the details with actual morphemes etc.

EDIT: This has already changed. There will be only one coreference marker as part of the verb and these forms will be strictly attributive (referencing the head noun). The other constructions (infinitive, depictive, and resultative) will use 3rd person forms with coreferential pronouns (HostAgent, Host Patient, and HostTheme), which can be used in any argument position.

Also, I didn't mention that the syntax is VSO.
