Introduction
Analysis of the Ego-pronouns1 and the Thou-pronouns2 suggests to consider two historical events in
the Roman Empire to explain the structure of modern pronouns in the formerly occupied areas.
In the course of history the Ego-pronouns and the divine names seem to have been redesigned to
promote and confirm the biblical creation legend. Their use may have been ordered by imperial
order. Parallel to the Ego-pronouns the Thou-pronouns may have been defined as well.
From the structural design of the pronouns the area activated by the events X and Y must contain
the modern versions of France, Italy, Spain, southern England, southern Germany, Greece, Albania,
Bulgaria, Serbia, Macedonia. The events may have been ignored at the remotest borders of the
Roman empire: in Portugal, Galicia, Rumania and in the Near East.
The structural design of the Ego-pronouns also suggests a 2-phased historical evolution, in which
the first event triggered the use of an optimized Ego-pronoun similar to the current Provencal Ego-
pronoun iéu and a divine name Diéu.3 These X-events must have been more effective than the
succeeding Y-event, which much later overruled the results of the X-event.
In the majority of easily reached districts the Y-event successfully modified the Ego-pronouns. In
some remote, Alpine areas however the Y-event failed to reach all religious participants. They may
have refused to follow their leaders or they may have been unaware of the new orders. In the end
the previously defined Ego-pronouns remained in use up till today.
These unaltered Ego-pronouns, which merely have been modified in the X-event will be named X-
pronouns. The Ego-pronouns which much later have been modified in the Y-event will be named Y-
pronouns.

Description of Event X and the X-pronouns

From the structural design of the Ego-pronouns we may derive the following linguistic areas as
remote areas, in which the previously defined X-pronouns remained in use up till today:
• Sursilvan using the Ego-pronoun jeu
• Sutsilvan using the Ego-pronoun jou
• Aromanian4 using the Ego-pronoun iou , io
• Villar-St-Pancrace5 using the Ego-pronoun iòu më6 and the divine name Diòu
• Lengadocian using the Ego-pronoun ieu , jo
• Provencal-Occitan using the Ego-pronoun iéu and the divine name Diéu
• Romansch using the Ego-pronoun jau, eau

The Aromanian category includes Greece, Albania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Macedonia in the Eastern
districts of the Roman Empire, which may exclude some historical phases in determining the point
of time for the X-event.
At event X the Roman emperor probably ordered to use the divine name Diòu or Diéu and the
corresponding Ego-pronouns iòu or iéu. These orders have been spread into the remotest corners of
the empire, which indicates a strong leader at the summit of his powers.

Constantine I
One of the possible emperors to have ordered event X is Constantine I, who reigned in the Roman
Empire from 306 to 337 and converted to Christianity. He may have supported the acceptance of
the new religion's creation legend by successfully promoting the X-pronouns.
Constantine I issued the Edict of Milan in 313, in which he proclaimed religious tolerance of all
religions throughout the empire. His empire covers the West-European areas of modern France,
Italy, Spain, Portugal, southern England, southern German and the East-European areas of Greece,
Albania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Macedonia and Rumania.
Additionally Northern Africa, Egypt, Turkey and the Near East region are included in the empire,
which to some extent may have been influenced by Arabian scripture.

Description of Event Y and the Y-pronouns

In later eras the Ego-pronouns have been redesigned, whereas the Thou-pronouns largely remain
unaltered. The modifications may have been based on the need to stabilize the monotheistic
religious structure by removing the female component U from the divine names and the pronouns.
At event Y a successor Roman emperor probably ordered to remove the trailing U's and to use the
divine names Diò or Dié and the corresponding Ego-pronouns io, ie or even i. These abbreviated
Ego-pronouns will be named Y-pronouns. The Y-pronouns may be identified by missing U-letters.
Sometimes they may even have been abbreviated to singular vowels "I".
The event Y may have occurred a few centuries later at a time of turbulence, in which the efficiency
of the imperial system had been deteriorated. Therefore the removal of the trailing U and the
introduction of the Y-pronouns was by far less efficient.
The areas in which the Y-pronouns were introduced successfully are7:
• Italy using the Ego-pronoun ió and the divine name Dió
• Spain using the Ego-pronoun yo and the divine name Dios
• France using the Ego-pronoun je and the divine name Dieu8
• SouthernGermany using the Ego-pronoun Ih
• Southern England using the Ego-pronoun I

Outside the borders of the Roman Empire the Ego-pronouns and the divine names had not been
standardized and they did not meet the imperial Roman standards. Especially in neighbouring
countries they may sound similar, but they followed other linguistic rules.

Failing imperial orders

In remote areas or at the borderlines of the Roman Empire some of the imperial orders failed. These
linguistic areas may effectively not have received any orders to modify symbolic words at all. Areas
with a missing letter I in which the trailing letter U had not been modified are:

• Romania using the Ego-pronoun eu and the divine name Deus

• Portugal using the Ego-pronoun eu and the divine name Deus
• Galician using the Ego-pronoun eu and the divine name Deus
• Sardu Logudorese9 using the Ego-pronoun deo
• Sardu Campidanese using the Ego-pronoun dèu
Generally these areas are located in remote areas or at the borderlines of the Roman Empire.

Conclusion
In some remote Alpine areas we may identify genuine Ego-pronouns which seem to have been
designed according to dedicated rules, probably to promote and confirm the biblical creation
legend. The linguistic areas for these genuine Ego-pronouns are all located within the borders of the
Roman Empire around 313AD. Simultaneously we identify intensive modifications of the Ego-
pronouns in areas in which the Thou-pronouns virtually remain unaltered.
These observations suggest a 2-phased adaptation of the Ego-pronouns somewhere between the
Edict of Milan in 313 and the early Middle Age (500 AD-800 AD) in which the emperors of the
Roman Empire and their successors tried to control religious acceptance of their Roman citizens.
The first event X, probably triggered by a powerful emperor Constantine I around 313, standardized
the divine name to Diòu or Diéu and the corresponding Ego-pronouns to iòu or iéu.
The second event Y, probably triggered by a less powerful European leader between 400 AD-800
AD, redefined the divine name to Diò or Dié and the corresponding Ego-pronouns to iò or ié. These
modifications may have been initiated by the need to remove the female symbolism from the
religious symbols in order to stabilize the monotheistic religious structure. Basically the redesign
merely removed the trailing letter U.
Outside the Roman Imperial borders the Ego-pronouns and the divine names had not been
standardized and they did not meet the imperial Roman standards. They may sound similar, but they
followed other linguistic rules.
