Everyone uses the prefix chart as it is given in TKD, but I prefer to 
rearrange the prefixes according to their person, then number, rather than 
number-person. It looks like this:
        0       me      us      you/s   you/p   him+    they
I       jI      -       -       qa      Sa      vI      vI
we      ma      -       -       pI      re      wI      DI
you(sg) bI      cho     ju      -       -       Da      Da
you(pl) Su      tu      che     -       -       bo      bo
!you(s) yI      HI      gho     -       -       yI      tI
!you(p) pe      HI      gho     -       -       yI      tI
he+     0       mu      nu      Du      lI      0       0
they    0       mu      nu      nI      lI      lu      0
(I hope the table survives intact. It contains tabs, and I'm not sure how 
well they are retained in email.)
The prefixes which occur in more than one place come together better in this 
chart, and it's easier to see similarities, as well as note the blocks with 
no prefixes at all, e.g., I-me or you(s)-you(pl).
