Bound: bound form
This value is assigned as a lexical feature of fused combinations of prepositions and personal pronouns that are currently tokenized as one word form and annotated as personal pronouns.

This value is assigned as an inflectional feature to clitic personal pronouns in genitive, dative and accusative to distinguish them from their longer counterparts with the same lemma and set of features.
Examples
- ga (“him”, variant of njega)
- jih (“them”, variant of njih)
- jo (“her”, variant of njo)
- mi (“to me”, variant of meni) *se (“oneself”, used either as a variant of reflexive pronoun sebi or as an obligatory free morpheme with pseudo-reflexive verbs, such as smejati se “to laugh”)
