 Here we also have few changes from the Early Old Norse pronouns for
 the third persons, singular and plural.
 
+An additional set of pronouns contains reflexive pronouns. This one is
+relatively small, as it does not agree in person, number, or
+gender.However, it still agrees in case. Note that there is no
+nominative reflexive pronoun in Eittlandic.

 **** Demonstrative Pronouns
+During its evolution from Old Eittlandic, the Eittlandic language lost
+one set of demonstrative pronouns, the one containing /sé/ in Old
+Eittlandic and Old Norse, in favour of the sets containing /hinn/ and
+/þessi/. Thus, we have these two sets in Eittlandic.

+It is interesting to see that this set of pronouns retained some
+differences between their masculine and feminine form, which has
+become quite rare in Modern Eittlandic. These are used in a similar
+way as “that” or “those” in English, designating elements or things
+that are judged as distant by the speaker from themselves.
+
+On the other hand, the following pronouns containing /þess/ relate to
+the words “this” and “these” in English.

 **** Possessive Pronouns
