rinya pronouns

Hey you guys.

Today at lunch I came up with the pronominal paradigm of one
of the dialects of Rinya. This made me realize that I probably
should do something about the horrible forms of standard Rinya
as well. But for now, here are the dialectal forms (OLD is
"standard" and NEW is "dialectal"):

Some pronunciation rules:

¨ = nasal: i -> [I] ; ï -> [i~]
ä = nasal [&] -> [&~]
stress is always on the nasalized vowel: [I'mi~] [Y'ti~]

      1SG              1PL
      OLD      NEW     OLD      NEW
AGT   imin     imï     ymin     ymï
PAT   im       ï       ym       ÿ
DAT   imenya   mä      imeinya  meï
LOC   iminte   mït     ymijnte  mij
ABL   imumbe   mÿb     ymumbe   müb  (no umlaut in ABL.PL for some reason)

      2SG             2PL
      OLD      NEW    OLD      NEW
AGT   lin      lï     lyn      lÿ
PAT   li       li     ly       ly
DAT   lenya    lä     leinya   leï
LOC   linte    lït    lijnte   lij  _or_  lynte - lÿt
ABL   lumbe    lÿb    lumbe    lüb

      3SG             3PL
      OLD      NEW    OLD      NEW
AGT   utin     utï    ytin     ytï
PAT   ut       ut     yt       yt
DAT   utenya   tä     yteinya  teï
LOC   utinte   tït    ytijnte  tij
ABL   utumbe   tÿb    ytumbe   tüb


In summary:

      1SG  1PL     2SG  2PL         3SG   3PL
AGT   imï  ymï     lï   lÿ          utï   ytï
PAT   ï    ÿ       li   ly          ut    yt
DAT   mä   meï     lä   leï         tä    teï
LOC   mït  mij*    lït  lÿt/lij**   tït   tij*
ABL   mÿb  müb     lÿb  lüb         tÿb   tüb

*  [li] and [ti] by older people [lEj] and [tEj] by younger speakers

** 2PL.LOC archaic _lÿt_ [ly~t] or _lij_ [li] (older people) or
   [lEj] (younger people) as opposed to 2PL.DAT [lE~j~] which is
   nasalized and used by all.
