Consultant's comments
It is not clear to me what conditions the alternation for 1SG, 2SG, and 3SG pronominal forms (Cf. IDXXXX). As for plural forms, the alternate simply includes the number marker that also occurs in pronouns. This alternation reflects that fact that plural forms may surface with or without the plural marker.
