Filling in some gaps...

[gutrazda]

I also figured I'd try my hand at completing the paradigm for
"sahwazuh saei / þatahwah þei". Would the demonstrative article
inflect as well as the forms of hwas? Something like þanawanoh saei or
sahwanoh saei? þishwizuh þei or þatahwizuh þei?

--------------------
sahwazuh saei / izei
??hwanoh saei
??hwizuh saei
??hwammeh saei

þatahwah þei
þatahwah þei
???hwizuh þei
???hwammeh ?þei

sohwoh soei*
???hwoh soei*
???hwizozuh soei*
???hwizaih soei*
