All of these forms have emphatic counterparts: mișă, t(h)usă, (ș)esăn , (ș)ișă, șņi, (ș)ivșă, (ș)iedsăn. These are essentially the "default" independent forms. These are used to address someone: ''Tusă!''/''Ivșă!'' 'You!'. Expressions for 'only', 'except' and 'also' also require emphatic pronouns: אן אף תּוֹסא, בּרוֹתּוֹס ''Ăn af tusă, Brutus?'' 'Et tu, Brute?' To emphasize ''șņi'' 'we' you have to use ''feyn'' after it (șņi itself comes from the emphatic form ''*siňə'').
