V. PERSONAL PRONOUN. 



We now pass over to another series of pronouns, called personal, and 

 representing other pronominal roots than the ones heretofore considered. 

 The three persons are, in the subjective case, all represented by monosyllabic 

 terms, and in the plural the terminal -t may represent the affix -ta, often 

 used for persons. No distributive form exists here ; the case-endings are 

 the same as those in the ajdjective. The personal pronouns exist in a full, 

 in an abbreviated, and in an emphatic form, to be discussed separately. 

 Tlie pronouns of the third person are used as demonstrative and as personal 

 pronouns. The synopsis of the personal pronouns in their subjective cases 

 is as follows : 



First person, singular, nu, ni /; plural, na't, nad we. 

 Second person, singular, \,\kthou; plural, at, a ?/e. 

 Third person, singular, pi he, she; plural, pat, sha they. 



In regard to inflectional forms, the Modoc dialect sometimes difi'ers 

 from the other, as will be seen by this table :
