• Old Silōs: sinōs
  • Modern Silōs: silōs, Silōs, Silōti
• Old Carichendan: *sineun
  • Modern Carichendan: sin, eun (possibly, sin from syllabic apocope due to use as a proclitic, and eun from syllabic apheresis due to use as an enclitic; compare modern sin ranya "a book" versus ranya eun "one book"; proclitic use was likely an innovation to produce an indefinite article, through analogy with the placement of the demonstrative determiners, which ultimately yielded the definite pronoun ra "the")
