OBJECTIVE FORMS (§§ 27-48) 

 § 27. Introductory 



In sentences containing subject and object the interrelation between 

 them is expressed with great definiteness by means of suffixes that 

 precede the subjective and objective pronouns. My original inten- 

 tion was to treat these suffixes as pronominal elements; but the chief 

 objection to such a treatment lies in the fact that the pronouns, sub- 

 jective and objective, are repeated after them. Hence it was found 

 advisable to treat them as objective elements. In the expression of 

 the relations a distinction is made between third person objects on the 

 one hand, and first and second persons on the other. Furthermore, 

 the indirect object is distinguished from the direct object, and the 

 same classification of persons is found. The possessive relations 

 between the subject and the two objects are also expressed with great 

 clearness ; and, finally, a sharp line of demarcation is drawn between 

 the indicative, imperative, and passive modes. 



It would seem that the following table represents all the suffixes 

 belonging to this group:
