PPNoSyncCase: The number of case-marked forms of personal pronouns differs from that of nouns, but none are syncretic.
Case | ’boy’ | ’he/she/it’ |
Nom. | paɣ | ʌüw |
Acc. | Acc=Nom | ʌüwat |
Dat. | Dat=Lat | ʌüwati |
Lat. | paɣ a | ʌüwata |
Loc. | paɣnə | ʌüw(ati)nə |
Abl. | paɣi | ʌüwatiji |
Appr. | paɣnam | ʌüwatinam |
Transl. | paqqə | ʌüwatiɣə |
Instr.-Fin. | paɣat | ʌüwatiɣat |
Com.-Inst. | paɣnat | ʌüwatinat |
Abess. | paɣʌəɣ | ʌüwatiʌəɣ |
(based on Honti 1977: 275–276. and Csepregi 1998: 24–25.)
Nouns and demonstrative pronouns can have 9 cases (nom, loc, lat, apr, abl, transl, ins-fin, com-ins, abess). Apart from these 9 cases, the personal pronouns also have accusative and dative forms. Therefore, no syncretism with personal pronouns is possible.
