Hello.

I have a question about the very frequent and obviously fundamentally
important formula:

neta.m mama, nesoham asmi, na meso attaa

which I read:

na eta.m mama, na eso aham asmi, na me eso attaa

I take 'eta.m' in the first clause to be the nom. neut. sg. demonstrative
pronoun (nom. because 'eta.m' should be the subject of the clause); 'eso' in
the second and third clauses to be nom. masc. sg.

If this is correct, then my question follows. Would someone be willing to
share with me their understanding of why the gender of the demonstrative
pronoun alters between the first and the other clauses?

Respectfully,
with metta,

Khristos
