PBONOUNS. 



The personal pronouns ego, I, and tu, thou, are declined 

 according to the ensuing table. Strictly, the Latins have no 

 personal pronoun of the third person, he ; that ia, no prononn 

 which exactly corresponds to our he. Die, which is often given 

 as such, signifies that person, and sui (no nominative) is a reflective 

 pronoun ; that is, it has a reference to a subject preceding. As, 

 however, parts of sui agree with parts of the personal pronouns, 

 it is inserted in this table of 



THE PERSONAL OR SUBSTANTIVE PRONOUNS. 



Sol, eibi, etc., you see are the same in the plural M in the singular. 



In pronouns, the vocative, when it exists, i* generally the MOM 

 as the nominative. The preposition cum, with (governing the 

 ablative), is put after mo, to, etc., and joined to them ; as, meoam, 

 with me ; tecnm, with thee : BO, secum, with them, or \eith the** 

 selves ; nobisoum, with us ; vobiaoam, with you. 



In order to give emphasis, met is subjoined to all these form*, 

 except tu, and tho genitive plural of ego and tu ; thus, egomet, 

 temet, sibimet, nosmet, vosmet : tn takes te, as tote ; so, for 

 the sake of force, is doubled, as sese. 



Nostri and vestri differ in use from nostrum and restrain. 

 Nostri is simply of us; nostrum is ours; nostrum denotes a 

 class, and is used with partitives, that is, words which dignify 

 one, etc., of a class, as nemo nostrum, none of us, considered M 

 a number or a class, and not an individual or individuals.
