Nias, a VOS language, is reported to allow pronouns to be locally bound (Brown, 2001), (Arka & Nazara, 2002). This violates Condition B (Chomsky 1981) and poses problems for reflexivity theory (Reuland, 2011, 2017). This contribution discusses which factors allow what is prima facie local binding of pronouns in Nias.
