When used as a direct or indirect object ('me, him', 'to me, to him') or as a possessive ('mine, his') the personal pronoun takes the form of a suffix. These suffixes can be combined with verbal forms, substantives, and paricles.

Examples:
: '' '''ḤN''' (ḥan)'' = (verb:) 'he has shown favor' →
:: '' '''ḤN’''' (ḥannō)'' = 'he has shown favor to him (-ō)' = proper name [[Hanno I the Great|Hanno]]
:: '' '''ḤNYB‘L''' (ḥannī ba‘al)'' = (verb:) 'Ba‘al has shown favor to me (-ī)' = proper name [[Hannibal]]

: '' '''BN''' (bin)'' = 'son' →
:: '' '''BN’, BNY''' (binō)'' = 'his son'

: '' '''’T''' (’et)'' = 'with' (preposition) →
:: '' '''’TY''' (’ittī)'' = 'together with me'

The paradigm for the suffixed personal pronouns is:<ref>Krahmalkov (2001), pp. 50-74.</ref>
