Wistrish pronouns and determiners

Wistrish pronouns and determiners behave similarly to nouns and adjectives: they too have full number and case conjugations. Personal pronouns also have persons.

Personal pronouns

Personal pronouns can be grouped in 1st, 2nd person pronouns (do not feature gender, numbers are grouped separately on the basis of conjugation) and 3rd person pronouns (feature gender, numbers are generally not grouped):

1st/2nd person pronouns

Singular

𐌹𐌺 – 1pSG (I).
𐌸𐌿 – 2pSG (you one, thou).

Dual

𐍅𐌹𐍄 – 1pDU (we two).
𐌾𐌿𐍄 – 2pDU (you two).

Paucal

𐍅𐌹𐌸 – 1pPA (we few).
𐌾𐌿𐌸 – 2pPA (you few).

Plural

𐍅𐌴𐌹𐍃 – 1pPL (we many).
𐌾𐌿𐍃 – 2pPL (you many).

3rd person pronouns

𐌹𐍃 – 3pSG masculine (he).
𐍃𐌹 – 3pSG feminine (she).
𐌹𐍃𐍄𐌰 – 3pSG neuter animate (singular they).
𐌹𐍄𐌰 – 3pSG neuter inanimate (it).

Gender persists in non-singular forms and follows the gender paradigm noun grouping rules. Neuter does not distinguish between animate and inanimate in non-singular.

Reflexive pronoun 𐍃𐌹𐌺

Used when the subject of the sentence also has a non-nominative function. Reflexive pronoun does not distinguish between numbers and genders as these are already marked by the subject.

Posessive pronouns

Behave like strong-only a-stem adjectives. Separate posessive pronouns only exist in 1st person, 2nd person and reflexive pronouns.

Singular

𐌼𐌴𐌹𐌽𐍃 – 1pSG (of me one).
𐌸𐌴𐌹𐌽𐍃 – 2pSG (of you one, thine).

Dual

𐌿𐌲𐌺𐌰𐍂 – 1pDU (of us two).
𐌹𐌲𐌵𐌰𐍂 – 2pDU (of you two).

Paucal

𐌿𐌶𐌰𐍂 – 1pPA (of we few).
𐌹𐌶𐍅𐌰𐍂 – 2pPA (of you few).

Plural

𐌿𐌽𐍃𐌰𐍂 – 1pPL (of us many).
𐌹𐌽𐍃𐍅𐌰𐍂 – 2pPL (of you many).

Reflexive

𐍃𐌴𐌹𐌽𐍃 – reflexive (of oneself, all numbers).

Emphatic pronoun 𐍃𐌹𐌻𐌱𐌰

Used to stress a noun in a sentence (like English "I made it myself" but for every case). Behaves as an an-stem adjective.

Demonstrative pronouns / determiners

Wistrish has no distinction between demonstrative pronouns and determiners. Demonstratives behave similarly to adjectives.

𐌷𐌹𐍃 – this (close to the speaker / listener).
𐌾𐌰̄𐌹𐌽𐍃 – yon, that (far away from the speaker / listener but in the line of sight).
𐍃𐌰 – that (generic, not within the line of sight).

Interrogative pronoun 𐍈𐌰𐍃

Acts as a question word in interrogative sentences. Declines in all genders, numbers and cases.

Can be used as a determiner: in interrogative sentences will function as English interrogative determiner "what", while in non-interrogative sentences it is frequently used with nouns with indefinitives to stress the indefiniteness.

Interrogative pronouns can be used with indefinitives -𐌷𐌿𐌽 and -𐍇𐌹𐌽 to create respective indefinite pronouns. Unlike their bare forms without indefinitives, indefinite variations of 𐍈𐌰𐍃 can't modify the noun by themselves: 𐍈𐌰𐍃 + noun with indefinitive should be used instead.

Interrogative determiners

Number-related. Does not feature a separate paucal variation, 𐍈𐌰𐍂𐌾𐌹𐍃 is used for both small and large groups.

𐍈𐌰𐌸𐌰𐍂 – which (of two)
𐍈𐌰𐍂𐌾𐌹𐍃 – which (of many)

𐍈𐌰𐌸𐌰𐍂 and 𐍈𐌰𐍂𐌾𐌹𐍃, together with 𐍈𐌰𐍃, can be used with an additional suffix -𐌿𐌷 to create distributive pronouns and determiners with the meaning "each, every".

Miscellaneous determinters

Behave like adjectives (generally strong-only or weak-only ones, depending on the meaning).

𐌰𐌻𐌻𐍃 (a-stem, no weak) – all, whole.
𐍆𐌿𐌻𐌻𐍃 (a-stem, no weak) – whole, entire. Does not feature weak forms when used as a determiner, when used as an adjective with the meaning "full" though can be weak.
𐍃𐌿𐌼𐍃 (a-stem, no weak) – some.
𐌱𐌰 (a-stem, no weak) – both.
𐌰𐌽𐌸𐌰𐍂 (ja-stem, no weak) – another (of two).
𐌰𐌻𐌾𐌹𐍃 (ja-stem, no weak) – other (of many, generic).
𐍈𐌹𐌻𐌴𐌹𐌺𐍃 (a-stem, no weak) – what kind of (interrogative).
