''Sie'' and ''nie'' are the only nominals with irregular locative and ablative forms, reflecting earlier Proto-Finnic formation of two cases as essive ''*-na'' and partitive ''*-ta'', which normally attached to ''*-s-'' to form ''*-ssa'' and ''*-sta'', respectively. Earlier ''*je'' "they" was replaced by ''nie'' by homophony with ''ję'' "he, she". Note unusual initial ''ń-'' in some forms of ''nie''. | |||
