 m sg 2. enclitic (‘dependent’) pronoun

1. you (see usage notes)

By the time of Late Egyptian, this pronoun was no longer strictly masculine but common to both genders.

This form of pronoun is anenclitic that must directly follow the word it modifies. Its meaning depends on its context:

• When it follows a verb, it indicates theobject of the verb.
• In the second and third person when it follows an adjective, it forms thesubject of an adjectival sentence.
• When it follows a relative adjective, such asntj,ntt, orjsṯ, it indicates thesubject of the relative clause (usually only in the first person singular and third person common).
• When it follows an imperative, it indicates thesubjector theobject of the verb.
• When it follows a particle likem.k, it indicates thesubject of the clause.
• When attached to a preposition, it indicates theobject of the preposition.
