Pronouns of South-Elven

III.3.2. Pronouns

1.) Personal Pronouns
Because of the weakenings which had already developed in in the southern dialect of Eleiar, a three-fold system of personal pronouns developed. This system distinguishes a subject form and a form for indirect and for the direct object each:

	1. person	2. person	3. person (m.)	3. person (f.)
subject	*nor*	*aian*	*acos*	*ocos*
indirect object	na	*aia*	ac	oc
direct object	*norach*	*aiach*	*acach*	*ocach*

	4. person	5. person	6. person
subject	*thur*	*lis*	os
indirect object	*thus*	*lis*	as
direct object	*thuchis*	*lichis*	*hóchis*

2.) Possessive Pronouns
The possessive were changed according to the personal pronouns. These changed stems combined with the gender particles to give the possessive pronouns

1. person	*noma, nomo*	2. person	*aema, aemo*	3. person	*coma, como*
4. person	*thuma, thumo*	5. person	*lima, limo*	6. person	*oma, omo*

Examples: noma sídd (my people); aemon aethis (your beloved); nomon oldar (my flute.

3.) Demonstrative Pronouns
Here the same system was used:
cina, cino (this, these)
tula, tulo (that, those)

4.) Interrogative Pronoun
The interrogative pronouns stayed in principle unchanged; the last two cases however were lost and assumed an advebial meaning (anun: where?; anu?: whereto?)

who?	whose?	whom?	who?
*an?*	*anu?*	*anu?*	*anuch?*

5.) Relative Pronouns
The relative pronouns changed in anology to the personal pronoun:

	singular	plural
subject	*ana, ano*	*anas, anos*
indirect obect	*ania, anio*	*anias, anios*
direct object	*anach, anoch*	*anachis, anochis*
