Personal pronouns also have this ending, while proper names and 

 personal demonstrative pronouns have the ending -{i)nd (see § 41). 



The personal pronoun is used with the ending -^, particularly when 

 the noun to which it is attached with possessive significance has a suffix 

 {-tq^ -gti^ etc.), while in the absolute form the suffix -in belonging to 

 or MADE OF is used (see § 46 and also § 47). In similar cases nouns 

 designating animate beings are often used with the ending -Jc.
