Each speaking of Himself says "I." The Father says "Thou" to the Son, the Son says "Thou" to the Father, and the Father and the Son use the pronouns "He" and "Him" with reference to the Spirit. The Father loves the Son, the Son loves the Father, the Spirit testifies of the Son. In the Athanasian Creed we find the following statement of this doctrine:
Containing, as most of them do, Semitic renderings of the Sumerian words and expressions collected, they are as great a help to us in our study of Sumerian language as they were to their compilers; in particular they have thrown much new light on the paradigms of the demonstrative and personal pronouns and on Sumerian verbal forms. But literary texts are also included in the recent publications.
And only the day before I write, the papers have given us a realistic account of a demonstration by an ardent advocate of woman, the chief item of which was that, on the approach of a burly policeman to seize her, she if the pronouns be not too definite in their sex fell upon her back and adroitly received the constabulary "wind" upon her upraised foot, thereby working much havoc.
In any event, it is not too much to say that there is a strong drift towards the restriction of the inflected possessive forms to animate nouns and pronouns. How is it with the alternation of subjective and objective in the pronoun?
This must prepare us for not expecting a greater amount of resemblance between the Australian personal pronouns than really exists. Beginning with the most inconstant of the three pronouns, namely, that of the third person, we find in the Kowrarega the following forms: 3. Singular, masculine : nu-du = he, him. Singular, feminine : na-du = she, her. Dual, common : pale = they two, them two.
The lower classes have not quite reached the "Excellency," but have got beyond the "Grace," and hence the personal pronouns are in a state of colloquial chaos, and the only safe way is to hold to the third person and repeat the name of Manuel or Maria, or whatever it may be, as often as possible. This leads naturally to the mention of another peculiar usage.
If that young ass attacks him he'll get the licking he wants, and if you're in any doubt about my pronouns " "Oh, dash you and your pronouns! Here's Tomlinson. Quick! Have you a plan of any sort?" "Three! Three separate lines of attack, each deadly. But there are folk whose mental equipment renders them incapable of understanding plain English. Now, my friend Tomlinson will show you what I mean.
When he gits one o' them spells, it's the baby he pitches on." Raven picked out from her confusion of pronouns the fact that Tenney, in his spells, incredibly threatened the baby. "Don't you think," he said, "you make too much of it I mean, as to the baby. He wouldn't hurt his own child."
Now, as there are frequently more demonstratives than one which can be used in a personal sense, two languages may be, in reality, very closely allied, though their personal pronouns of the third person differ. Thus the Latin ego = Greek ego; but the Latin hic and ille by no means correspond in form with os, auto, and ekeinos.
She seemed to have heard all about me, and was so filled with the importance of her message that she could hardly speak it intelligibly. 'She got your letter, she said, confusing the pronouns, as is often done in the west, 'she is gone to Mass, and she'll be in the square after that. Let your honour go now and sit in the square, and Michael will find you.
