    The above forms of the Pers. Pronouns are used only to express the Nominative or as Subject: they must not he put as oblique cases after a verb or preposition. When not expressing the Subject, the Pers. Pronouns become attracted in a fragmentary form to the end of other words. These fragments (the significant parts above) are named Pronominal suffixes. See §§ 19^, 31, 49. Comp. § 20. 6. Rem. a. On 1 pers. In pause the accent is retracted to the penult (§ 10. 5 b) ’'is and OiS. A plur. occurs once, Jer. 42. 6, and nahnu six times, e. g.
