Personal pronouns

Personal pronouns display a marked dichotomy between the forms in the nominative case and the forms in the accusative and oblique cases. Both forms have two different roots, exhibiting thus a mixed declension.

1st sing.
2nd sing.
3rd sing.
1st plur.
2nd plur.
3rd plur.
nominative
ort ert oht ortũ ertũ ohtũ
accusative
it nwet fet õt nwẽt fẽt
oblique
nweš feš õš nwẽš fẽš

There are, however, several possible alternative forms:

1st sing.
2nd sing.
3rd sing.
1st plur.
2nd plur.
3rd plur.
accusative
nwe nwẽš
oblique
je/oš ňe õšũ nwešũ

The alternative forms are regarded as obsolete and they are used in modern texts only in religious texts, in intentionally archaizing texts and in some set expressions. In the oblique case the 1st singular person display two obsolete forms: je, used as indirect object, and oš, used for other roles of the oblique case.
