==== Pronominal suffixes ====
The pronominal suffixes are as follows:
{| class="wikitable"
|+
!
!''marû''
!''ḫamṭu'' 
|-
!1st person singular
| colspan="2" |𒂗 ''-en'' 
|-
!2nd person singular
| colspan="2" |𒂗 ''-en'' 
|-
!3rd person singular
|(''𒂊'') ''-e''
|/-Ø/ 
|-
!1st person plural
| colspan="2" |𒂗𒉈𒂗 ''-en-de<sub>3</sub>-en''
|-
!2nd person plural
| colspan="2" |𒂗𒍢𒂗 ''-en-ze<sub>2</sub>-en''
|-
!3rd person plural
(animate only)
|(''𒂊'')''𒉈 -e-ne''
|𒂠/𒌍 -''eš<sub>2</sub>''/''eš''
|}
The initial vowel in all of the above suffixes can be assimilated to the vowel of the verb root; more specifically, it can become /u/ or /i/ if the vowel of the verb root is /u/ or /i/, respectively. It can also undergo contraction with an immediately preceding vowel.<ref>Jagersma (2010: 353-356)</ref> Pre-Ur III texts also spell the first- and second-person suffix -/en/ as -/e/, making it coincide with the third person in the ''marû'' form.
