5-4: Masculine Forms of the (Demonstrative) Pronoun - eta

Sabbanāmapulliṅgarūpāni eta-saddo vuccante
Now the forms of the (Demonstrative) Masculine Pronoun
are illustrated with the declineable word eta The declension is the same as for ta, tā, and taṁ, with the simple addition of e- at the beginning of the words. As with ta and na there is a similar form declined on the stem ena that is not illustrated here. It seems to occur only in accusative (enaṁ), dative, and genitive (enassa, enesaṁ, enesānaṁ) cases.⁰¹
