In the weak declension, an "n" is commonly seen in the suffixes. It seems to be related to the N-stems found in Latin third declension.
The Gothic word guma (genitive: gumins), for example, is etymologically related to Latin homo (genitive: hominis).
Aren't there other personal pronouns?
Old High German#Samples looks like there's "thu" and "thū" (2.ps.sg. nom.).
Forms with th instead of du might be less German/Germanic (see e.g. Modern German du, and thou in the Romance language English), but shouldn't they be mentioned anyway? -
