The Northeadish system of correlatives is similar to those in many other Germanic languages, though, through analogy, it has grown to be far more extensive than any other. The correlative system is based on six simple roots:
The Northeadish system of correlatives is similar to those in many other Germanic languages, though, through analogy, it has grown to be far more extensive than any other. The correlative system is based on six simple roots:


PIE *''k-'' → PGmc *''h-'' → Nth. ''h-'' (proximal)
*PIE *''k-'' → PGmc *''h-'' → Nth. ''h-'' (proximal)
 
*PIE *''t-'' → PGmc *''þ-'' → Nth. ''þ-'' (medial)
PIE *''t-'' → PGmc *''þ-'' → Nth. ''þ-'' (medial)
*PIE *''i-'' → PGmc *''j-'' → Nth. ''i-'' (distal)
 
*PIE *''kʷ-'' → PGmc *''hw-'' → Nth. ''ƕ-'' (interrogative)
PIE *''i-'' → PGmc *''j-'' → Nth. ''i-'' (distal)
*PIE *''kʷ-'' → PGmc *''hw-'' → Nth. ''q-''  (relative)
 
*PIE *''n-'' → PGmc *''n-'' → Nth. ''n-''  (negative)
PIE *''kʷ-'' → PGmc *''hw-'' → Nth. ''ƕ-'' (interrogative)
 
PIE *''kʷ-'' → PGmc *''hw-'' → Nth. ''q-''  (relative)
 
PIE *''n-'' → PGmc *''n-'' → Nth. ''n-''  (negative)


Though the Northeadish correlative system is more thorough than those of other Germanic languages, it is still by no means complete.  Many other common words already hold the place of some of the correlatives; they are noted below.
