(Udmurt)
SyntPP
SyntPP: PPs have a synthetic stem (i.e., the morphological expression of number and person occurs simultaneously), and the expression of different numbers within the same person does not display internal flexion.
| singular | plural | |
|---|---|---|
| 1st person | mon | mi |
| 2nd person | ton | ti |
| 3rd person | so | soos |
In Udmurt, the form of all personal pronouns goes back to the Proto-Finno-Ugric mV, tV, *sV base (Bereczki 2003: 47), but from a synchronic perspective they cannot be considered flexional variants of the same root. In third person plural, the singular pronoun so combines with the productive plural suffix -os.
