> Tá úll agam = is (an) apple at me. In this case it's the preposition "ag" that gets conjugated differently for at me, at you, at him... instead of the subject as in Turkish or the object in the Hungarian example. Agat = at you.
> Or for feelings: Tá ocras orm = is hunger on me. Ort = on you.
Same, except for spelling differences, for its very close relative, Scottish Gaelic.
> It's interesting how often m means me, and t or d means thou, across all kinds of European languages.
Most European languages are related, but it also applies to Finnish: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_verb_conjugation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_verb_conjugation , which is not Indoeuropean.
Also, the Etruscan (also non-Indoeuropean) first person pronoun is "mi": "mi spanti larices" = I am Larice's plate". The second person pronoun appears to be "un", though.
