Nouns with pronoun suffixes
| feminine || כן (your ~)
|-
|rowspan=2| 3rd || masculine || ו /הו (his ~) || ם (their ~)
|-
| feminine || ה (her ~) || ן (their ~)
|}
Note: הו is used in [[TODOTanakh:Genesis_11:3|Gen. 11:3]]for a masculine noun. Note: הן suffix in [[Tanakh:Genesis_4:4|Gen. 4:4]]. So the suffix may be preceded by ה. In feminine nouns ending with ה that ה is replaced with ת before pronoun suffixes. Now read about pronoun suffixes with plural nouns: For the plural nouns ending with ים that ים is replaced with the following suffixes: {| class="grammar"!person !! gender !! singular !! plural|-|rowspan=2| 1st || masculine ||rowspan=2| י (my ~) ||rowspan=2| ינו (our ~)|-| feminine|-|rowspan=2| 2nd || masculine ||rowspan=2| יך (your ~) || יכם (your ~)|-| feminine || יכן (your ~)|-|rowspan=2| 3rd || masculine || יו (his ~) || יהם (their ~)|-| feminine || יה (her ~) || יהן (their ~)|} For the plural nouns ending with ות, after that ות are added the following suffixes (the same suffixes as in the previous table): {| class="grammar"!person !! gender !! singular !! plural|-|rowspan=2| 1st || masculine ||rowspan=2| י (my ~) ||rowspan=2| ינו (our ~)|-| feminine|-|rowspan=2| 2nd || masculine ||rowspan=2| יך (your ~) || יכם (your ~)|-| feminine || יכן (your ~)|-|rowspan=2| 3rd || masculine || יו (his ~) || יהם (their ~)|-| feminine || יה (her ~) || יהן (their ~)|} A noun with a pronoun suffix is considered definite (but an article should be not put before it). ==Verbs with object pronoun suffixes== These suffixes denote an object of an action: {| class="grammar"!person !! gender !! singular !! plural|-|rowspan=2| 1st || masculine ||rowspan=2| ני ||rowspan=2| נו|-| feminine|-|rowspan=2| 2nd || masculine ||rowspan=2| ך || כם|-| feminine || כן|-|rowspan=2| 3rd || masculine || הו || ם|-| feminine || ה|| ן|} In 3rd person, singular, feminine of perfect the suffix ה is replaced with ת before pronoun suffixes. In 2nd person, plural, masculine of perfect the suffix תם is replaced with תו before pronoun suffixes. In 3-weak verbs the last ה of the root is omitted before pronoun suffixes. Infinitive can have both object pronoun suffixes and subject pronoun suffixes. Note the suffix הו appearing after a noun (not verb) in [[Tanakh:Genesis 1:12|Gen. 1:12]].
