I'm not a Uralicist, but doesn't Mordva (not Ugric) have
definite/indefinite conjugations, along with a fairly complete system
of marking 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person objects on the verb?  In
Hungarian, as I recall, agreement beyond
definiteness/indefiniteness is only possible with 1st sg. subject and
2nd sg. object, e.g., <la:tlak>, "I see you."
