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 requiring the direct case. They do not have any forms for the basic case, the direct forms as subjects are used as vocative forms.

Moreover, the 1^st person has two different roots, exhibiting thus a mixed declension. On the other hand, the 2^nd and the 3^rdperson have only one root, displaying, however, a similar irregular declension.

	1st sing.	2nd sing.	3rd sing.	1st plur.	2nd plur.	3rd plur.
direct1	owtu	æpjixu	æstu	owtun	æpjixun	æpstun
direct2	ju	æpji	æs	jun	æpjin	æn
oblique	juha	æpjiha	æsa	juna	æpjina	æna

First and second person forms are meant as referents for 1^st class entities; the endings for the secondary 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 1^st or the 2^nd class.
