The question posted by Hatheputdatfut seems to be written in Geoffrey Graham's (geoffrey.graham@yale.edu) "pseudo-verbal construction", using the following key and ascii format. Perhaps this will help.
Suffix Pronouns:
=j "I, me, my"
=k "you, your" masculine singular
=T "you, your" feminine singular
=f "he, him, his" (or "it" when the referent is m.)
=s "she, her, hers" (or "it" when the referent is f.)
=n "we, us, ours"
=Tn "you, your" plural
=sn "they, them, theirs"
=tw "one, one's"
Dependent Pronouns:
wj - "I, me"
Tw - "you" (m., sing.)
Tn - "you" (f., sing.)
sw - "he, him" (or "it" when the referent is m.)
sy - "she, her" (or "it" when the referent is f.)
st - "it" (inanimate objects which are not defined as m. or f.)
n - "we, us"
Tn - "you" (pl.)
sn - "they, them" (mostly animate beings)
st - "they, them" (mostly inanimate objects or animals)
mk - "look/behold/hey"
sDm - "hear"
jnj.t - "bring"
m33 - "see"
s-nm - "feed"
jTj.t - "take"
Hr - "upon"
r - "at/to/toward"
m - "in"
Examples:
jw=sn Hr mrj.t - "they are loving"
jw=j Hr mrj.t - "I am loving", "I was loving", or "I love".
