606 10 Cliticsthe boundary between noun stem and FeSg suffix -t, see (30) and (31) in
§3.2.1.1.(670) Assimilationsaffecting clitic-initial Iiik-\t -> k-Vk

d-\t -> t-\t
d-\t -» t-\tlSg subject suffix -aer and 2Sg subject suffix -aed are commonly followed
by object clitics. Note in particular that 3MaSg l-tl undergoes these
assimilations, so the alveolar articulation is not always expressed on the
surface. For example, /anhaey-asr-W is realized as anhaey-aeq-\q Ί saw him',
cf. snhaey-aeqAqasn Ί saw them-MaPl' and snhaey-aeq-\qaey Ί saw you-
MaSg'.
Independent pronouns can be added at the end of the clause, in addition to
an object clitic, but they generally function as clarifying or emphatic elements.
I regard them as post-clausal. In the available examples, the post-clausal
clarifying elements form a conjunction of the type 'X and/with Y' (including
preposition ad 'and/with). The object clitic may subsume the two, as in Ί saw
you-Pl, you-Sg and him', or it may coindex only the first conjunct, as in Ί saw
you-Sg, you-Sg with him'.
