Pronoun [Latvian]

IPA: [mɛ̄ːs] Audio: lv-riga-mēs.ogg Forms: no-table-tags [table-tags], mēs [nominative], mūs [accusative], mūsu [genitive], mums [dative], mums [instrumental], mūsos [locative]
Etymology: From earlier, and still dialectally attested, mes (with vowel lengthening, either expressively, or under the influence of jūs (“you pl.”)), from Proto-Indo-European *wéy (“we”), with the initial m- appearing due to influence from the first-person singular objective pronoun or the first-person singular verbal ending. For the non-nominative forms, the old Proto-Indo-European *nos was not conserved; new forms were created, following the second-person plural paradigm. Accusative mūs imitated second-person jūs (i.e., *múns after júns, yielding mūs); similarly genitive *mūsōn after *jūsōn, yielding mūsu, and dative mums < *mumus, paralleling jums < *jumus. Cognates include Lithuanian mẽs, Old Prussian mes, mas, Proto-Slavic *my, Old Armenian մեք (mekʻ).
