This morning I decided to make a radical departure from the Romance norm with my C-a pronouns. Previously the third person pronouns had been el/al/il and els/als/ils (also tried su/sa/si and eju/eja/eji) in singular and plural respectively. This made the feminine and neuter third person pronouns identical with the articles. It also gave the language a dash of Catalan flavor. I sorta liked that, but this morning, for some reason (again maybe the cold medicine) I decided that those simply aren't the pronouns that Carrajena uses. The new pronouns are jun/jan/jid and juns/jans/jids. These, like the previous pronons, supposedly derive from "ille" -- most likely the accusative forms rather than the nominative and with probable contamination from the accusatives of "is". Currently the prononuns are as follows: ju = Itu = you (inf)vosu /-a = you (formal m/f)jun = hejan = shejid = it nos = wetus = you (inf pl)vosus /-as = you (formal pl m/f)juns/jans/jids = they Comments?
