mēs

• (dialectal, archaic form) mes

From earlier, and still dialectally attested, mes (with vowel lengthening, either expressively, or under the influence of jūs (“you pl.”)), from Proto-Indo-European *(e)me- (“1st person”) with a plural-marking s. For the non-nominative forms, the old Proto-Indo-European *nos was not conserved; new forms were created, following the second-person plural paradigm. Accusative mūs imitated second-person jūs (i.e., *múns after júns, yielding mūs); similarly genitive *mūsōn after *jūsōn, yielding mūsu, and dative mums < *mumus, paralleling jums < *jumus. Cognates include Lithuanian mẽs, Old Prussian mes, mas, Old Armenian մեք (mekʿ).[1]
