    1. The form אנוכי \ אָנֹכִי‎ (anokhí) occurs many times in the Hebrew Bible, but is basically obsolete today.
    2. In Modern Israeli Hebrew, the form אָנוּ‎ (ánu, “we”) is the more formal, אֲנָחנוּ‎ (anákhnu) the more colloquial.
    3. In colloquial Modern Israeli Hebrew, the nominally masculine forms אַתֶּם‎ (atém) and הֵם‎ (hem) are sometimes taken as gender-neutral and substituted for אַתֶּן‎ (atén) and הֵן‎ (hen), this is sometimes considered incorrect.
