number, and case. Adjectives have three de-
grees of comparison. The comparative and
superlative are formed either by different words,
or by terminations, or by intensitive particles,
in fact, as in English.
Pronoun. Pronouns are personal, possessive, relative,
and demonstrative. The personal are me or
mi, I, tu or thu, thou, and e or se, he or it, i or
si, she ; with their plurals, sinn, we, sibh, ye or
you, and lad or siad, they. These are, of course,
all declined. They are compounded with se,
thus, mise, myself, thuse, thyself, etc. etc., and
also with fein, as mifein, myself, thufein, thyself,
etc. etc. The se in the first compound is an
abbreviation of the Latin ipse, and the fein Is a
modification of the French meme in moimeme.
The corresponding possessive pronouns are mo,
my, do, thy, a, his, her, or its ; ar, our, bhur or
'ur, your, an, am, or iar, their. The single
relative pronoun, a, may be always used, or it
may be changed for noch and nocha.
There are three demonstratives — so, this, sin,
that, and sud, yon. There are three interrog-
atlves — CO, cia, and clod, which represent the
Latin qui, quae, quod.
Verb. Verbs are of four kinds — active, passive,
neuter, and Impersonal. They have number,
person, mood, and tense. They have the sing-
ular and plural numbers, and the usual three
persons. The verb agrees with its nominative
in number and person.
