Pronouns
1
These can be used as the subjects of a
verb, or as possessive adjectives. Still with the 3rd person
singular, ew and ma can be made more personal and
precise.
she,
her hei
e.g.
Descriptive form:
Jory ew ev.
He is George.
Kettern ew hei.
She is
Kate.
Hager ew ev.
He is
ugly.
As before, if you start the sentence
with Ew
it is a question, but a more precise one with the inclusion of a personal
pronoun, e.g.
Ew hei Kettern? Is she Kate?
Ew hei teg? Is she lovely?
Ew ev
hager Is he ugly?
The verbal particle Th
stops it being a question, e.g.
Thewa Jory. He is George.
Thew hei Kettern. She is
Kate.
Thew hei teg. She is
lovely.
Thew ev hager He is ugly.
And, again, Th can be replaced by Nag
to make a negative sentence e.g.
Nag ew e’ Jory. He is not George.
Nag ew hei Kettern. She is not Kate.
Nag ew hei teg. She is not lovely.
Nag ew ev hager. He is not ugly.
Using
the pronouns as possessive adjectives, after a noun[4]:
Thew an kei ev. It is his dog.
Thew an peth hei. It is her thing. It is hers.
e.g.
Locative form:
Ma hei
e’n wedhen. She is in the
tree.
Ma va
et an gwely. He is in the
bed.
Ma hei
reb tan. She
is by a fire.
Ma hei
e’n gegin. She is in the
kitchen.
