Genitive and short accusative pronouns can be used as verbal clitics denoting a pronominal object; the clitic precedes the verb unless the verb is in the imperative. The genitive/dative clitic comes before the accusative clitic. A pronominal object may be "doubled" by a clitic for emphasis like in Balkan or Romance languages. | Genitive and short accusative pronouns can be used as verbal clitics denoting a pronominal object; the clitic precedes the verb unless the verb is in the imperative.

The original 1st person dual-plural pronoun, {{recon|naħnā}}/{{recon|naħnū}} was reinterpreted as two different pronouns each with their respective number ending: thus 1st person dual ''nahna'' < {{recon|naħnā}} and 1st person plural ''nahny'' < {{recon|naħnū}} | |||
