Great question. I haven't decided yet. It might have inherited them from Proto-Northern, regularizing the patterns by analogy. This would explain polysyllabic roots in related languages like Omlüüt, where they would have been fully lexicalized.
The second option would be to derive infixes from phonologically conditioned metathesis. This would explain why all prenuclear infixes are of the form VC (i.e. vowel followed by a consonant) but all postnuclear infixes are of the form CV. This contrasts with regular (C)V prefixes and V(C) suffixes.

Pronouns
Pronouns are special in that they do not take any regular regular morphology, but still show (mostly) suppletive allomorphs in order to express number, person and case. Syntactically, they occur in the same positions as nouns do. Subject and object pronouns occur when the argument of a verb needs to be emphasized or contrasted. Possessive pronouns can either substitute for a possessor (e.g. my) or for a complex noun phrase consisting of a possessed noun and a possessor (e.g. mine).

First person singular pronouns refer to the speaker of an utterance. First person plural also includes the associates of the speaker. Under its default interpretation it excludes the hearer, but the right conditions its meaning can be extended to include the hearer. In general the hearer (and its associates) can be referred to by the second person singular and plural respectively.

Third person pronouns refer to individuals or groups that neither include the speaker nor the hearer. This referent has to be prementioned in definite third person pronouns. As far as indefinite pronouns are concerned, such a restriction does not hold. Its semantics include free-choice, specific, non-specific, or even non-existent referents. It can also be similar to English one.

Particles

Particles do not take any inflectional or derivational morphology. They perform functions that combine the well-known categories of prepositions and conjunctions. This means that they link nouns and/or clauses in any combination. Unlike precategorical roots, they can never change their part of speech. Their prepositional and conjunctive uses are listes in the table below.

ik has a stative locative meaning when introducing a noun phrase. It can refer to containment or more vague notions of location. It can also refer to position on a surface. Apart from that, it can also refer to the position of something in between two other things. If ik introduces a clause, it can also have a modal meaning. This means that it can specify a manner.

et as a particle that introduces noun phrases has a very similar meaning to ik. Generally, it describes vague or approximate locations often also indicating the absence of contact. It is also the default particle for establishing more abstract relationsships between noun phrases and/or clauses, similar to English about.

ut contrasts with the more stative particles et and ik in that it indicates the goal of a movement or a temporal endpoint if it introduces a noun phrase. If it introduces a clause it expresses purpose or intent. It is also used as a general particle to introduce embedded finite clauses.

in is the exact counterpart in that it precedes noun phrases that indicate a source of movement, the origin of an object or the temporal starting point. In pre-clausal position it can also signify a relation of causality.

ob conjoins noun phrases or clauses. It can also introduce a noun phrase with a role of an instrument or company. Its reduplicated form ob ob focuses on a contrast, a contradiction, a qualification or an exception.

ad links noun phrases or clauses by disjunction. id introduces a cause or a reason. o is the only purely temporal particle. It generally indicates temporal inclusion or simultaneity.
