AFAIK there are no examples of {-bogh} attached directly to a pronoun, though there are a few with an intervening {-taH}:

Let us drink then

    And the brother I once had.  (PB)

All of Kronos trembled once more,
    For every Klingon on the planet
    Followed her cry for Kahless.  (PB)

Note that these all refer to location -- though I'm not sure how to translate the last PB example.
