Pronouns are quite distinct from nouns in morphological analysis. For one, they decline for three cases: nominative ({{sc|nom}}), genitive-dative ({{sc|gen-dat}}), and oblique({{sc|obl}}). They are also inflected for number, but unlike true nouns they never receive marking for possession nor gender. This means that pronouns are one of the freer elements in 17aug and sentences composed primarily of pronouns need not follow the otherwise so rigid subject-verb-object word order. | Pronouns are quite distinct from nouns in morphological analysis.
