The parenthesised "m" in the above third persons is euphonic.
There are no personal pronouns objective, indirect object, indicating motion from the actual person ; this idea being expressed with the help of possessive pronouns indicating motion from the person's place-of-residence or location (sect. 10),
Again, the suffix -e^-ya also bears prepositional traces (sect. 24S) and expresses t]e person or place whence something is obtained, brought, or received ; tacked on to pronouns, as in the following series (c),it demonstrates the personal pronoun objective, indirect object, person whence something is obtained or received. The suffix undergoes further inflexion according as the act referred to takes place in present and past, or future time, by the additional -na or -ko respec- tively of the objective ease (sect, 14).
c. Person — from whom something is obtained or received.
Number.
Person.
I.— In Present or Past Time.
