Pronoun
π· β’ (gΜeββ /gΜe/) (before genitive, dative, comitative markers π· (gΜaβ /β gΜaβ /) or π·π (gΜaβ-a /β gΜaβ /))
- I (first-person independent personal pronoun)
Usage notes
- π· (gΜeββ /β gΜeβ /) becomes π· (gΜaβ /β gΜaβ /) when followed by a case marker that contains the vowel /a/, i.e. genitive /ak/, dative /ra/, or comitative case /da/. Since the sign π· can be read both ways, sometimes scribes added π (e) or π (a) to disambiguate the spelling, e.g.:
- π·ππ° β gΜeββ-a-kam /gΜakam/ β He is mine.
- The final vowel /e/ becomes /Δ/ before the enclitic copula, and it is often indicated by the plene spelling, e.g.:
- π·ππ¨ β gΜeββ-e-me /gΜΔmen/ β I, myself
