§ 49. Conrpotmd Pronouns 



From these fundamental series originate a great number of forms 

 by composition and further modification. The pronominal demon- 

 strative forms occur as subject, object, and instrumental, and are 

 formed, on the whole, by adding the demonstrative suffix to the per- 

 sonal endings. In the objective series a number of secondary changes 

 have taken place.

The demonstrative prenominal forms show an analogous develop- 

 ment. In this case we find, furthermore, a double form, a vocaUc, 

 characterized by a terminal -a, and another one which is used preced- 

 ing proper names, indefinite nouns, and possessive forms of the third 

 person when the possessor is a person different from the subject of 

 the sentence. For brevity's sake we will call this form the consonantic.
