Description The article is focused on internal reconstructions of partial microsystems of first and second person pronouns in all individual branches of Indo-European languages, projecting them back to the late Indo-European protolanguage. The next step was reconstruction of the primary pro¬nominal protosystem, allowing us both to deduce forms of pronouns in historically attested languages and to understand pronominal-verbal congruence, assumed as the axiomatic starting point.
