This value of a principle is often illustrated in the work of criticising young teachers. Let the critic condemn with authority one feature of a recitation after another, making free use of the pronoun I, and the young teacher criticised is likely to glare at him in rising wrath.
Garnett in his masterly papers on the structure of the verb, is as follows: 1. The root. 2. The possessive pronoun. 3. A particle of time often originally one of place. To apply this doctrine to the Kowrarega with our present data, is unsafe. So are the double forms of the Imperative, namely the one in r, and the one in e.
Often from thy lips I have heard that there is no love in thy heart for any man even for me, but is it not a lie, the curious lie of a woman who resents a master?" Ajeet in a mingling of awe and anger had dropped into the formal "thou" pronoun instead of the familiar "you." "No, Ajeet, it is the truth; I do not tell lies."
"Now that's what I call a friend!" he cried, ecstatically. "But won't you come in? He must be back in a moment. He surely would not break an appointment with you." The admiration latent in the accentuation of the last pronoun was almost offensive. She shook her head. She had a just grievance against Everard, and would punish him by going away indignantly.
It is a little late for the best light; and I would like for you to see it under the most favorable conditions possible." The critic was visibly flattered by the painter's manner and by his well-chosen emphasis upon the personal pronoun. "Quite right" he said approvingly "quite right, old boy."
"Something of a surprise to run up against you suddenly, like this." "I expected to see you," he answered gravely, and the slight emphasis he gave the pronoun implied not only a complete knowledge of the situation and of the part I had taken in it, but also a greater rebuke than if his accusation had been direct. But I clung to my affability.
Provost and her dogs and her maids and her asides to "Marian dear," described with accuracy and a keen sense of the ludicrous. "It's too dreadful," she continued. "There is no such thing as privacy in this country. The newspapers are making us," with a slight accent on the pronoun, "as common and public as tenement-house people." "Yes," Miss Trevor answered absently. "But why read the newspapers?
"I!" With the protesting pronoun Annesley disclaimed all ownership of her husband's fortune, whatever it might be. "It's the same thing. You and I are one. Whatever is mine is yours.
Potentiality is indicated by the verb lah, necessity by the verb dei; dang and da show the indefinite present. The negative is indicated by the particles ym, contracted into 'm, shym, and pat. Ym is put before the verb, e.g. 'ym don briew = there is no one; with a pronoun it is contracted, e.g. u'm wan, he does not come. It follows the sign of the future, e.g. phi'n y'm man, you will not come.
Words have a history of their own, and often acquire associations independent of their meaning. Rhythm, too, and clearness need attention. An unbalanced sentence goes haltingly and jars; an ambiguous pronoun causes the reader to stumble. An ill-written book, an ill-worded speech fail of their effects; it is not merely by sympathy and character that men persuade.
