Line 582:

** '''''Șesăn''' ăm pŗivrav e.'' / '''''Șe șesăn''' ă șe ăm pŗivrav.'' = 'It's him who's the chief rabbi.' (no ''e'' here because it's a relative copular clause.

''Șiv'' is used as a polite pronoun~~, like~~ Yiddish ''ir''.

''Șiv'' is used as a polite pronoun (the same way as Yiddish ''ir'').

All of these forms have emphatic counterparts: mișă, t(h)üsă, (ș)esăn , (ș)ișă, șņi, (ș)ivșă, (ș)iedsăn. These are essentially the "default" independent forms. These are used to address someone: ''Tüsă!''/''Ivșă!'' 'You!'. Expressions for 'only', 'except' and 'also' also require emphatic pronouns: אן אף תּוּסא, בּרוֹתּוֹס ''Ăn af tüsă, Brutus?'' 'Et tu, Brute?' To emphasize ''șņi'' 'we' you have to use ''feyn'' after it (șņi itself comes from the emphatic form ''*siňə'').
