the third persons, singular and plural. 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.
| Nominative | - |

**** Demonstrative Pronouns **** 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.

| Pl Gen | hinn | hinn | hinn |
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.
