a) Why do you put the personal pronoun after the verb in order to fuse
it into an ending? The usual position is before the verb.
b) Why do you use the 1pl/3pl form also for 2pl? It usually ends in
-t, though without the umlaut that may come in 2sg/3sg form (e.g.
lesen: du liest/er liest but ihr lest; fallen: du fällst/er fällt but
ihr fallt).
