Wessisc Language Primer Pronouns

The pronouns are as follows:
 

SINGULAR	Nominative	Accusative	Dative	PLURAL	Nominative	Accusative	Dative
First	igh	fi	migh	First	we	us	niw
Second	þau	þi	ti	Second (Dual)	ghy	ghæ	ghir
Third Masculine	he	e	him	Second (Plural)	geo	geo	geom
Third Feminine	seo	o	hir
Third Neuter	hit	it	hæm	Third	hie	hie	hæ
Third (One)	man	man	manum

The third person 'one' form is a demonstrative form - in modern English, we commonly misuse the word 'you', as in "you can see the sea from here", wherein the word 'you' should be replaced with 'one' or 'people in general', etc.

It is to be noted that there are three forms for the word 'you' in Wessisc. There is the singular, and in the plural there are two forms. One form is the dual form, used when speaking to two persons, whilst the other is used when speaking to more than two persons.

Possessive Pronons are also of importance. They follow the noun being possessed. They also take the same endings  as adjectives take when governed by the indefinite article. The possessive pronouns are as follows:
 

SINGULAR	Possessive Pronoun	PLURAL	Possessive Pronoun
First	myn	First	wr
Second	þyn	Second (Dual)	ghyr
Third Masculine	hes	Second (Plural)	geor
Third Feminine	ser
Third Neuter	his	Third	hier
Third (One)	mans
