Personal pronouns

Personal pronouns are used to mark specific grammatical person (like English "I", "you", "he", etc). In Wistrish, they are subdivided into two large groups:

• Non-3p pronouns – these decline very similar to each other no matter the number, therefore the numbers are grouped as separate pronouns. Non-3p pronouns do not distinguish between genders.
• 3p pronouns – their declension is somewhat reminiscent of the nominal one, so the number forms are not considered as separate entities. 3p pronouns distinguish between four genders: masculine, feminine, neuter animate and neuter inanimate.

Non-3p 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.
