represented by the MSS. Gen.—.Dat. hem (often written
horn in MS. E) : (men, assonance) 150; hem (liom E) 159, 168, 316
etc. Acc. hem (horn E) 25, 100, 106, etc.
Possibly the most noticeable feature in the study of personal
pronouns is the introduction of hij by the side of peih, hit, and ou,
the characteristic of MS. Ax; of hij, hit, horn, schol and hore, of
MS. E, and possibly for dialectical purposes of ho in MSS. E> and E.
Scandinavian forms pei, peir belong to later MSS., though Ax
has sporadically, pe, me, hem, him are the personal pronouns
absolutely warranted by the MSS. on basis of the rimes.
Possessives.
Simple possessives: my (generally before a consonant sound) 1,
59, 60, etc.; myn : (Alquin) 52 ; oure 505, 916 ; vre 363, 506, but
oure before the name of the deity 844; vre 595, etc.; Houre 569,
949, whose syllabic character is lost by apocope. pi (followed by a
consonant sound) 7, 14, 69, etc. Jnn1 (before a vowel sound) 9, 93,
334, etc. ; his (hys) 18, 19, 21, etc. Here2 (fem,) 952; hire 235?;
Hire 956, 990, 995; myne : (myne) 339 ; J>zn[e] ? 841 and pine (phi-)
842 retains its syllabic -e, but pine 841; Hise (pin.) 570, 752;
His 992 ; here 103, 169, etc. Otherwise plurals of possessives are
often apocopated.
Absolute possessives: myne rimes with myne (simple possessive)
340, his withparadys 300, and with iwis 338.
Relatives and Demonstratives.
Eelatives and demonstratives present no novel features. pat has
the value of a who, lines 54, 317, (plu.) 424. Equivalent to what
in lines 3, 73, etc., its use is substantive. pat serves also as a
demonstrative 59, 82, 88, etc. Jus 149 (=? pis if is the single
instance of contraction, pise 84 is used substantively. Without
syllabic value is -e in Whiche (plu.) 76, 287, and in pise 97, 191, etc.
§ 4. ADVERBS.
Adverbs following the history of the development of O.E. forms
end in -e, when formed from adjectives.
Adverbs from adjectives: dere : (were) 160; dere 172, 226; sore :
(lore) 236, : (ore) 539 ; but sore through elision 766, 794; lowe 630 ;
foule 591 ; stille : (wide) 584, 593, 706, etc.; faste : (agaste) 865.
As continuation of O.E. full endings occur: aboute (elision) 190,
