C. PRONOUNS.

82. A Pronoun is a word that indicates something without naming it.

83. There are the following classes of pronouns:

I. Personal. V. Intensive.
II. Reflexive. VI. Relative.
III. Possessive. VII. Interrogative.
IV. Demonstrative. VIII. Indefinite.

I. PERSONAL PRONOUNS.

84. These correspond to the English I, you, he, she, it, etc., and are declined as follows:

First Person. Second Person. Third Person.

1. A Dative Singular m occurs in poetry.

2. Emphatic forms in -met are occasionally found; as, egomet, I myself; tibimet, to you
yourself; t has tte and ttemet (written also ttimet).

3. In early Latin, md and td occur as Accusative and Ablative forms.

II. REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS.

85. These refer to the subject of the sentence or clause in which they stand; like myself,
yourself, in 'I see myself,' etc. They are declined as follows:

First Person. Second Person. Third Person.

1. The Reflexive of the Third Person serves for all genders and for both numbers. Thus
sui may mean, of himself, herself, itself, or of themselves; and so with the other forms.

2. All of the Reflexive Pronouns have at times a reciprocal force; as,

inter s pugnant, they fight with each other.

3. In early Latin, sd occurs as Accusative and Ablative.


III. POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS.

86. These are strictly adjectives of the First and Second Declensions, and are inflected
as such. They are

First Person. Second Person.

noster, nostra, nostrum, our; vester, vestra, vestrum, your;

Third Person.
suus, -a, -um, his, her, its, their.

1. Suus is exclusively Reflexive; as,

pater lbers sus amat, the father loves his children.

Otherwise, his, her, its are regularly expressed by the Genitive Singular of is, viz. ejus;
and their by the Genitive Plural, erum, erum.

2. The Vocative Singular Masculine of meus is m.

3. The enclitic -pte may be joined to the Ablative Singular of the Possessive Pronouns
for the purpose of emphasis. This is particularly common in case of su, su; as,
supte, supte.

IV. DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS.

87. These point out an object as here or there, or as previously mentioned. They are

hc, this (where I am);

iste, that (where you are);

ille, that (something distinct from the speaker);

is, that (weaker than ille);

dem, the same.

Hc, iste, and ille are accordingly the Demonstratives of the First, Second, and Third
Persons respectively.
Hc, this.
