forms. _Mĕus_ _mĕum_ _mĕi_ _mĕos_ ＞ męus męu męi męus, which regularly
became mięus etc. (§ 30); an analogical form mięu is found beside
mięi. In the feminine of the first person we have, instead of ✱męa,
mięua and mia: the first of these two forms is evidently made up from
the masculine; the second may be due partly to the analogy of mi,
partly to a proclitic use of the word (§ 44, 4).[97] In the second and
third persons the masculine forms are mainly, and the feminine forms
partially, replaced by analogical formations based on the possessive of
the first person; _tŭi_, _sŭi_, _tŭa_, _sŭa_, however, give regularly
tọi tüi, sọi süi, tọa tua, sọa sua (§ 8).
