====Demonstratives==== | |||
There are two distinct series of demonstratives: a proximal and a distal one; however, Numidian has a different formation for the proximal when compared to other dialects. All of them are different from those used in the rest of the Romance-speaking world: the words for "this, these" derive from the locutions <small>ILLVM HĪC, ILLAM HĪC, ILLŌS HĪC</small> (in Mauritanian; in Numidian from <small>HVNC HĪC, HANC HĪC, HŌS HĪC</small>); those for "that, those" from <small>ILLVM IBĪ, ILLAM IBĪ, ILLŌS IBĪ</small>. | |||
