Notes
This pronoun is constructed from 𓏏𓏲 tw + a suffix pronoun, except the third person singular and plural.
Uses of Compound Pronouns
This type of pronoun appeared during the Seventeenth Dynasty and is mostly used as a subject in a sentence with an adverbial predicate.
Sentences with an adverbial predicate can be expressed using four different types of pronouns as follows:
I am home
𓇋𓅱𓀀𓅓𓉐𓏤 iw.i m pr (suffix)
𓅓𓂝𓎡𓅱𓀀𓅓𓉐𓏤mk wi m pr (dependent)
𓏏𓏲𓀀𓅓𓉐𓏤 tw.i m pr (compound)
𓏌𓎡𓅓𓉐𓏤 ink m pr (independent)
Note that the third person singular and plural are identical in writing to the third person dependent pronoun singular in both genders. However, it is easy to differentiate between the two as the dependent pronoun does not stand independently at the beginning of the sentence.
Example
𓇋𓋴𓏏𓇓𓅱𓅓𓉐𓏤
ist sw m pr
𓇓𓏲𓅓𓉐𓏤
sw m pr
He is at home (Compound).
