**If PIE ''*túH'' "you (sg.nom.)" and ''*twé'' "you (sg.acc.)" follow Aryan ''*tū́'' and ''*twh<sub>0</sub>'', the form ''*eǵh₂óm'' (which could yield the equivalent of ''*me'') becomes more archaic than ''*h₁eǵH'', as Homeric Greek ''ἐγών'' and Sanskrit ''अहम्'' suggest. | |||
*The primordial form of ''*aiǵṓn'' (PIE ''*eǵh₂óm'') is ''ˈʕɨ̀ː-ɔː'' (Codex), which would regularly yield ''*aiṓ'', yet it is observed that in Aryan the consonant <''*ǵ''> is inserted, plus the affixation of <''*n''>, more securely assumed as a borrowing from Diluvian ''nao'' "I". | |||
*The nasal in ''*aiǵṓn'' "I" was subsequently labialized by the preceding vowel, shortening the nucleus (i.e. /ɔːn/ ⇒ /ɔwn/ ⇒ /ɔm/). | |||
**This sound change affected all other inflections of the first person singular. | |||

*The dual is formed by erasing sounds of the singular, then reduplicating it (e.g. ''*aiǵṓn'' ⇒ ''*ōyṓn''; ''*tū́'' ⇒ ''*ūyū́''), with medial ''*y'' inserted to avoid diphthongs. | *The dual is formed by erasing sounds of the singular, then reduplicating it (e.g. ''*aiǵṓn'' ⇒ ''*ōyṓn''; ''*tū́'' ⇒ ''*ūyū́''), with medial ''*y'' inserted to avoid diphthongs. | ||
** The products of this process would eventually substitute the plural forms (i.e. ''*ṓns'' "we (plural)" ⇒ ∅, replaced by ''*ōyṓn'' "we (dual)" (Aryan) ⇒ ''*wéy'' "we (plural)" (PIE); ''*ūs'' "you (plural)" ⇒ ∅, replaced by ''*ūyú'' "you (dual)" (Aryan) ⇒ ''yū́'' "you (plural)" (PIE)). | **The products of this process would eventually substitute the plural forms (i.e. ''*ṓns'' "we (plural)" ⇒ ∅, replaced by ''*ōyṓn'' "we (dual)" (Aryan) ⇒ ''*wéy'' "we (plural)" (PIE); ''*ūs'' "you (plural)" ⇒ ∅, replaced by ''*ūyú'' "you (dual)" (Aryan) ⇒ ''*yū́'' "you (plural)" (PIE)). | ||
*The plural is formed by erasing the reduplication of the dual, then adding the serial particle *-s- (e.g. ''*ōyṓn'' ⇒ ''*ṓns''; ''*ūyū́'' ⇒ ''*ū́s''), with medial ''*y'' removed due the impossibility of diphthongs. | |||
