Persons

I gotta ask what is "Zeroth" person?

And fourth person I think you mean Third person Obviative.

Because after third person there really isn't anything else, what more than "The thing I am talking about but is neither me nor you" could possibly exist?

Fourth person is also the name of the third person indefinite, Zelos. I remember you pointed out that several times at wikia as well. :P Nevertheless, Newrhotic, it'd be wise to define all expressions. :) Waahlis 22:10, 18 March 2013 (CET)

I'm just figuring things out at the moment, so I'm only sketching everything with tables and stuff, but I'll give explanations when everything's sorted out. I promise :)

As Waahlis said, 4th person is the indefinite pronoun as in One shall find knowledge here, Se prohibe la venta de alcohol a menores or Man darf nicht schwören.

Zero person will be used for "passive" voices and to replace dummy "it"s, as in It is raining. Newrhotic (talk) 23:53, 18 March 2013 (CET)

I would say it is still third person, not fourth person because you aren't really adding anything.  Emperor Zelos 06:04, 19 March 2013 (CET)
