Personal pronouns

Personal pronouns feature a distinction between two forms for the direct case. The first form (named direct₁) is used as the subject of the clauses, for every kind of verbs. The second form (named direct₂) is used as the direct object of the clause, for transitive verbs, and with every preposition.

Moreover, the first two persons (1^st and 2^nd) have two different roots, exhibiting thus a mixed declension. On the other hand, the 3^rdperson has only one root, displaying, however, a similar irregular declension. La prima e la seconda persona, inoltre, possiedono due radici diverse, fornendo così una declinazione eteroclita. La terza persona, invece, ha una sola radice, ma una declinazione ugualmente irregolare.

First and second person forms are meant as referents for class I entities; the endings for the secondary oblique cases are thus not used with them. Conversely, the third person forms display a complete declension, in which the case forms are used whether the referred name belongs to the class I or class II.

In most oblique cases in the third person an euphonic vowel -ə- is inserted between the root and the case endings.
