 IV. PRONOUNS.

(a) The personal pronouns are thus declined :

(b) It will be observed that the first and second personal pronouns, 'I' and 'thou,' have a declension peculiar to themselves.

In the first place, the gen. sing, ends in rá, re, rí, and the gen. plur. in árá or hárá, are or háre, árí or hárí, instead of the ká, ke, kí of the substantives. The other cases singular are formed by adding the requisite postpositions to the oblique forms or inflections mujh and tujh : at the same time, the dative and accus. may optionally add ko or e. The cases denoting the agent sing. are formed by adding ne to thenom., as, maiN-ne and tú-ne, and not mujh-ne etc.
