Notes
1) Determinatives in first person singular pronouns are written according to the gender of the speaker, and are occasionally omitted.
2) The third person plural pronoun π΄ππ°π₯ .sn is rarely used as an object and is replaced by π΄π .st which is an early writing for the third person singular and plural independent pronouns.
Uses of dependent pronoun:
a) Object in verbal sentences
ππΏππ»π°π‘π
±π
hAb.k wi
You send me.
ππΏππ»π
±πππ°π
hAb wi s
The man sends me.
Note:
The object pronoun is placed before the noun subject.
b) Subject of a phrase with an predicate adverbial,
but it must follow a number of particles such as mkπ
ππ°π‘Ψ or nnππ°π.:
π
ππ°π‘πΏπ
±π
π
‘π°π‘ππ
mk Tw m bAk. i
Behold, you are my servant.
ππ°ππ΄π
π£π°π€π
nn s(y) m ib.i
She is not in my heart.
c) Subject after predicate adjectival
This use is only confined to the second and third pronoun:
π€ππ°ππ°πππ°ππππ°ππ
nfrt tn Hna .i
You are happy with me.
d) As a reflexive pronoun
ππ°ππ°ππ
±ππ·π°π€π‘π°ππ±π€π
