|
||||
Here we also have few changes from the Early Old Norse pronouns for
|
||||
the third persons, singular and plural.
|
||||
|
||||
An additional set of pronouns contains reflexive pronouns. This one is
|
||||
relatively small, as it does not agree in person, number, or
|
||||
gender.However, it still agrees in case. Note that there is no
|
||||
nominative reflexive pronoun in Eittlandic.

**** Demonstrative Pronouns
|
||||
During its evolution from Old Eittlandic, the Eittlandic language lost
|
||||
one set of demonstrative pronouns, the one containing /sé/ in Old
|
||||
Eittlandic and Old Norse, in favour of the sets containing /hinn/ and
|
||||
/þessi/. Thus, we have these two sets in Eittlandic.

| Pl Dat | hinum | hinum | hinum |
|

| Pl Gen | hinn | hinn | hinn |
|
||||
|
||||
It is interesting to see that this set of pronouns retained some
|
||||
differences between their masculine and feminine form, which has
|
||||
become quite rare in Modern Eittlandic. These are used in a similar
|
||||
way as “that” or “those” in English, designating elements or things
|
||||
that are judged as distant by the speaker from themselves.
|
||||
|
||||
On the other hand, the following pronouns containing /þess/ relate to
|
||||
the words “this” and “these” in English.
|
||||
|
||||
**** Possessive Pronouns
|
||||
Possessive pronouns in Eittlandic simply are the genitive form of the

personal pronouns shown [[file:./grammar.md#personal-pronouns][above]]. The pronoun agrees with the owner in

phrase that characterizes the genitive is in the nominative case.
