In the olden times the Uralic languages involved in parallel both personal pronouns and personal suffixes. The clarification of the reasons for phonetic similarities of the consonant matter in personal pronouns and personal suffixes is not quite possible at present. The inflection *-sV of the 3P is used in Uralic or at least in all Finno-Permic languages, while the application could be inconsistent and lacking altogether in Finnic, being replaced in the latter case by an inflection derived from the pronoun root *sen. The Finnic personal suffix *-sen, due to its final component *-n, is not such a widely spread personal suffix, but its initial component *-se- does not exclude a link with the common Uralic or at least the common Finno-Permic suffix *-sV. It is probable that the use of the verbal 3P suffix *-sV can be observed in all Uralic (or at least Finno-Permic) languages.
