A new proposal on the elusive origin of the *so / *to suppletivisme can rest on some facts: 1) post-anatolian genesis (Hittite ša-aš, ta-aš have to be explained as prototonic particle *so or *to+enclitic pronoun derived from a *(H1)e- stem); 2) the alternation *so / *to reflects a basic opposition animate nominative vs. rest of cases (and not simply animate vs. inanimate reference or similar). The primitive prototonic particle *to was reinterpreted in post-anatolian period as an anaphoric element referred to a non-subject antecedent. Such an anaphoric would have a non-subject syntactic use too. When it was needed an emphatic anaphoric subject, the prototonic particle *so was employed with this aim (a favourable scenario would be clauses with subject change).
