PERSONAL PRONOUNS
Sing. 1. c. Lw (?) later wt. Pl. 1. c. n. Du.

in a
special
  except as
verbal form. suffix.
f. *St surviving
as 3. C.
From these are derived the suffixes, which are shortened forms attached to nouns to
express
  the possessor, and to verbs to
express
  the subject. In the latter
case
  the verb was probably in the participle, so that .fdmii-Ln, " they hear," is literally "
hearing
  are they." The singular suffixes are: (I) c.-t; (2) M. -k, f. -t; (3) m. -f, f. -S;the dual and plural have no
special
  forms.
Another
series
  of
absolute
  pronouns is: (2) m. Iwt, tw; f. tmt, tm; (3) m. fwt, t!w; f. slt, it. Of these twt, tint, &c., are emphatic forms.
Many of the above
absolute
  pronouns were almost obsolete even in the Old
Kingdom
 . In
ordinary
  texts some survive, especially as objects of verbs, namely, wi, tw, tn, sw, st. The suffixes of all numbers and persons except the dual were in full use throughout, to Coptic; sn, however, giving way to a new suffix, -w, which
developed
  first in the New
Kingdom
 .
Another absolute pronoun of the first person is ink, APfOK, like Heb. tut. It is associated with a
series
  for the second and third persons: nt-k, nt-t, nt f, nt-in, &c.; but from their
history
 , use and form, it seems probable that the last are of later formation, and are not to be connected with the Semitic pronouns (chiefly of the 2nd person) resembling them.
