Cool! Not quite unlike what Quenya does. Modern Icelandic seems to be
heading in this direction too: In questions
ferst þú > ferstu (this one even in orthography!)
fer han/hún/það > feran/ferún/fera
förum vit > förumi
ferið þið > feriði
fara þeir/þær/þau > faraðir/faraðu
and in declarative sentences these forms with enclitic pronouns are often
used pleonastically after full pronouns: _þú ferstu_ etc.
