Dear Mike,

I'm not sure if I've understood you. I doubt you will find 'me listed in an
index. But for 'ime' you'd find it in a declension table. Warder's doesnt't
seem to give a complete table (at least not on p. 115). You will find some
of the forms in PED s.v. aya.m and also look in Duroiselle's sect. 305. The
most complete paradigm is probably the following from the Saddaniti (12th
pariccheda):

idaani ida.msaddassa naamikapadamaalaa vuccate:

1. aya.m : ime
2. ima.m : ime
3. anena iminaa : ehi ebhi imehi imebhi
4. assa imassa : esa.m esaana.m imesa.m imesaana.m
5. asmaa imasmaa imamhaa : ehi ebhi imehi imebhi
6. assa imassa : esa.m esaana.m imesa.m imesaana.m
7. asmi.m imasmi.m amhi imamhi : esu imesu. ida.m pulli"nga.m.

This one is for the masculine gender. The order is nominative, accusative,
instrumental, dative, ablative, genitive, locative. The symbol : separates
the singular from the plural forms.

The pronoun 'ima' (stem form) is included in a special group of 27 words
called sabbanaama-s. Katama and catu also belong to the same group.

Best wishes,
Jim
