Personal pronouns

Personal pronouns convey only the first two persons (1^st and 2^nd) in both numbers.

Unlike the nominal declension, and unlike other pronouns, these forms modify the vocalic pattern when declining in the accusative case, exhibiting thus a mixed declension on the same consonantal root. The forms for the genitive and the dative case are regularily built on the accusative form.

They are declined with the same endings as the nominal declension, and select only the animate plural ending, as they always refer to animated entities.

	1st sing.	2nd sing.	1st plur.	2nd plur.
nominative	i̥l	ḁŕ	lu̥	o̥ŕe
accusative	ë̥l	ë̥ŕ	lḁ	ḁŕe
genitive	ë̥laš	ë̥ŕaš	lḁš	ḁŕeš
dative	ë̥loʔ	ë̥ŕoʔ	lḁʔ	ḁŕeʔ

All forms, when declined in the genitive case, can play the role of an indeclinable possessive adjective, being placed before a noun, or the role of indeclinable possessive pronoun, being placed before a demonstrative pronominal form.
