Old Prussian edit
Etymology edit
From earlier Prussian enclitic *-di, from dialectal Baltic *-di, probably from Proto-Indo-European enclitic *-di („he”, „she”).[1] Cognate with Avestan dim („him, her”). [2]
Pronoun edit
di n (third-person only, plural dīs or dī, accusative singular din, accusative plural dins)
- (anaphoric) he, she, it, self;
- (Can we date this quote?), III katekizmas, page 93, line 14:
- kai Sara Abraham po
klūſmai bhe / bebillē din Rikijs- As Sarah was ruled by Abraham, naming him lord.
- (Can we date this quote?), III katekizmas, page 89, line 8:
- turri
ti dins ſte mijls ſtēiſon dīlas paggan- And have a high opinion of them in love because of their work.
- (indefinite, indeclinable, also spelt dei) (it)self, one (indefinite pronoun denoting unspecified subject)[1][3][4]
Usage notes edit
- Appeared either as a suffix or standalone, the latter being usually stressed.
- Besides the enclitic function, it also served as an impersonal pronoun, similarly to German man.
- The suffix form merged with prepositions, creating new ones with function analogical to English thereby (there + by), herein (here + in), etc. Such forms still underwent declension.
