Here are two excerpts from TKD that discuss the person of nouns.
6.3
{pa'wIjDaq jIHtaH} <I am in my quarters.>
({pa'wIjDaq} <in my room,> {jIH} <I,>
{-taH} <continuous>)
In the above examples, the subjects are pronouns. If the
subject is a noun, it follows the third-person pronoun ({ghaH}
<he/she,> {'oH} <it,> {chaH} <they,> {bIH} <they>) and takes the {-'e'} <topic
>
suffix (see section 3.3.5).
6.4
Both {'Iv} and {nuq} are treated as nouns as far as the
pronominal prefixes are concerned. That is, they are consid-
ered third person.
Both of these imply that nouns are treated as third person only.
