Pronoun

Dependent pronoun: first person singular

1. I, me (see usage notes)

Usage notes

This form of pronoun is an enclitic, which must directly follow the word it modifies. Its meaning depends on its context.

• When it follows a verb, it indicates the object of the verb
• In the second and third person when it follows an adjective, it forms the subject of an adjectival sentance
• When it follows a relative adjective, such as ntj, ntt, and jsṯ, it indicates the subject of the relative clause (Usually only in the first person singular and third person neuter)
• When it follows an imperative, it indicates the object of the verb.
• When it follows a particle like mj.k, it indicates the subject of the clause.
• When attached to a preposition, it indicates the object of the preposition

The first person singular dependent pronoun has a number of variants:

wj	wj	wj	wj	wj	wj	wj

Further, it can, optionally, be varied to indicate the identity of the antecedent - a distinction which would not have been indicated in speech, e.g.:

male human	female human	god	god or king	king	dead human

Inflection

Dependent pronouns inflect for gender and number. The "neuter" third person form is used for inanimate objects. See individual pages for variant writings.
