<sup>i</sup> | <sup>i</sup> When the following word begins with a vowel, numerals and pronouns ending in a vowel are followed by ‹r›. This applies to the numbers tvē, tvō, and þrī, and the pronouns hī, ſī, vī, and iȳ. E.g. ''ſī gǣðþ'' ‘she goes’, but ''ſīr ærðþ'' ‘she is’. | ||

The neuter genitive forms may also be rendered as ''hets'', ''ƕets'', and ''qets'', though that is more vernacular and not standard. | |||

<sup>iii</sup> By definition, reflexive pronouns cannot exist in the nominative case. | |||
<sup>iv</sup> Though it is in common usage, having been assimilated from the other reflexive pronouns, the words ''ſeſc'' and ''ſīſc'' are technically not correct. The common ''–ſc'' ending on the reflexive dative and accusative pronouns comes from an earlier compounding of the third person reflexive pronoun (''ſec'') onto the non-reflexive pronouns, much in the same way that the North Germanic medio-passive was formed. Appending ſec onto itself is redundant, but assimilation will out. | |||
