Personal, possessive, and compound pronouns take an additional syllable, when used with a particular emphasis, or placed in contra-distinction to each other. (35)

In personal and compound pronouns, if the last vowel be broad, r4 is added to the first, second and third person feminine of the singular; and to the second person plural; but re is added, if the last vowel be small.

In like manner san or sean is added to the third culine, singular, and to the third person plural.

We is added to the first person plural; as,

person mas

Daṁ, to me, dansa, to myself, duit, to thee, duitse, to thyself; riñ, we, riñje, ourselves; é, he, érean, himself; me, I, mire, myself: 1, she, 1re, herself; ljom, with me, ljomsa, with myself; ln, with us, line, with ourselves.

In this manner decline all the personal and compound pro nouns, except in the genitive case; for,

Possessive pronouns require the increase to be made in the noun that are joined with them; as, lam, a hand, mo laṁsa, my own hand; or if that noun be followed by an adjective, the increase is made in that adjective: as, mo lam gealsa, my white hand.

IN THIS MANNER DECLINE,

Mo ceañ dub, my black head.

A leabar, his book.

Ar natair, our father.

A gcosa duba. their black feet.

Bhur suile arda, your lofty eyes. (36)
