2. Derivations for Demonstrative Pronouns
Each of these forms includes the four “cases” mentioned above (Locative, Terminalis, Ablative, Vialis),
plus the Similaris (like, similar) and Modalis (object indicator). In addition to these grammatical cases,
there are two forms for each pronoun: one in the Absolutive (when a noun governs an intransitive verb or
relates to the non-specific object of a transitive verb). The other form is the Relative, which is used when
the noun governs a transitive verb or shows possession of a noun.
