In Udmurt there are nine different case forms for personal pronouns, and fifteen for nouns (Alasheeva 2011: 33, Tarakanov 2011a: 110–111, Winkler 2011: 68) (it has to be added, however, that animate nouns have only the same nine case forms that personal pronouns do, cf. Csúcs 1990: 37, Alasheeva 2011: 34–35). Personal pronouns have no case syncretism.
