Analyzing the above elements stlil further, we observe that the 

 first personal subject may be denoted by : ha-; ga-; ga-mu-; im; in-; 

 i-; mi-; mu-. 



The second personal subject may be denoted by: ha-; hi-; in-; 

 ma-; mi-; mu-; mu—es (pi.). 



The third personal subject may be denoted by : ha-; hi-es (3 pi.) ; 

 i(h)-; in-; ma-; mi-; mu-. 



In other words ha-, im-, in-, mi-, and mu-, may indicate the i, 2 

 and 3 persons indiscriminately, and that ma- = 2 and 3 persons, 

 while ga- is almost always used for the i p. 



Nor is the problem made easier by the tabulation of the i, 2 and 

 3 personal objective infixes; viz., i p. object: ma-, 'he to me'; ma- 

 ah-, 'he it for me'; ma-an-, 'she (he) ... me' (ace.) ; ma-ni-in-.
