- Abstract
Komi sije̮ / 'naje̮ ~ Udmurt so / soos 'that / those» → 'he, she / they' In the Komi language semantic divergency of personal and demonstrative pronouns advanced further than in the Udmurt one. The Komi forms naja, naje̮ 'they' have got additional marking, such as the Finnic-Permic suffix of collective multiplicity *-ja/*-jä. Later under the analogy it spread also on s- and/-stem demonstrative pronouns. This enabled more consecutively oppose the personal and demonstrative pronouns, anyway, on plural line: naja, naje̮ 'they' -- sijajas, sije̮jas 'those'. The forms side 'that, he', naje̮ 'they', taje̮ 'this' etc, presented only in two Komi-Zyryan dialects and accepted as literary norm, in our opinion, are forms of accusative. The Udmurt pronouns have avoided such functional-semantic differentiation: they execute the function of the general indication, not particularly distinguishing whether the person speaking indicates on person or not-person: so 'that, he, she' -- soos 'those, they'.
