Personal pronouns in Greek are morphologically marked for bf Person, Number and Case; third person pronouns are also marked for Gender. Two kinds of forms are distinguished: strong and weak pronouns. Under this type, we only include strong forms; weak forms are coded as having type clitic (see relevant section).

In the above table, we have given personal pronouns only in the nominative case. All of them are inflected in the genitive case (`emena', `esena', `autou', `autys', `autou', `emas', `esas', `autwn', `autwn' and `autwn'), and the accusative (`emena', `esena', `auton', `auty(n)', `auto', `emas', `esas', `autous', `autes'and `auta'). Only two forms appear in the vocative case, namely the second person singular (`esu') and plural (`eseis').
