Although the vocative is still used integrally in only a small number of very localised dialects in the more isolated swamplands and marshes of Leyland, Ravennest, the Wolds and the Evendale, it still frequently occurs in set expressions in the main varieties of Dogrish. Examples include: | |||
:- '''mænnennen ert hun!''', "he is the man!" | |||
:- '''hljápa, fránna!''', "run, woman!" | |||
:- '''bjerna, baka til klassen!''', "children, back to class!" | |||
