The following tables show the Akkadian demonstrative pronouns according to near and far [[deixis]]: {| class="wikitable" |+ Proximal Demonstrative ("this", "these") |- ! colspan="2" | ! Masculine ! Feminine |- ! rowspan="3" | Singular ! Nom. |''annûm''||''annītum'' |- ! Acc. |''anniam''||''annītam'' |- ! Gen. |''annîm''||''annītim'' |- ! rowspan="2" | Plural ! Nom. |''annûtum''||''anniātum'' |- ! Acc./Gen. |''annûtim''||''anniātim'' |} {| class="wikitable" |+ Distal Demonstrative ("that", "those") |- ! colspan="2" | ! Masculine ! Feminine |- ! rowspan="3" | Singular ! Nom. |''ullûm''||''ullītum'' |- ! Acc. |''ulliam''||''ullītam'' |- ! Gen. |''ullîm''||''ullītim'' |- ! rowspan="2" | Plural ! Nom. |''ullûtum''||''ulliātum'' |- ! Acc./Gen. |''ullûtim''||''ulliātim'' |} ====Relative pronouns==== [[Relative pronouns]] in Akkadian are shown in the following table: {| class="wikitable" |- ! colspan="2" | ! [[Nominative]] ! [[Accusative]] ! [[Genitive]] |- ! rowspan="2" | Singular ! masc. | šu | ša | ši |- ! fem. | šāt | colspan="2" | šāti |- ! colspan="2" | Dual | colspan="3" | šā |- ! rowspan="2" | Plural ! masc. | colspan="3" | šūt |- ! fem. | colspan="3" | šāt |} Unlike plural relative pronouns, singular relative pronouns in Akkadian exhibit full declension for case. Only the form ''ša'' (originally accusative masculine singular) survived, while the other forms disappeared in time. ====Interrogative pronouns==== The following table shows the [[interrogative pronouns]] used in Akkadian: {| class="wikitable" ! Akkadian ! English |- | ''mannum''||who? |- | ''mīnum'', ''minûm''||what? |- | ''ayyum''||which? |- |}
