No. | English | Zanahi | Proto-Zanahic | Etymology of Zanahi form (if not directly from the Proto-Zanahic) |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | I | ’ammā | *ʔéṣ | *ʔán- "that (over there)" + lengthened variant of *mé "me" (perhaps the ablative *méṭ). |
2 | you (singular) | ’antā (m.); ’antī (f.) | *túʔ | Masculine form from *ʔán- "that (over there)" + lengthened variant of *twé "thee" (perhaps the ablative *twéṭ). The feminine was then formed by analogy with the third person pronoun (supported by the Semitic counterparts). |
3 | he | hattā (m.); hattī (f.) | *hóh; *tóh | From a combined pronoun *hohtóh in which both parts would have originally been declined. |
4 | we | ’annā | *wéyeh | *ʔán- "that (over there)" + *nōh "us (clitic)" or *noʔ "us two (clitic)". |
5 | you (plural) | ’antān (m.); ’antīn (f.) | *yū́h | From the singular by analogy. |
6 | they | hattān (m.); hattīn (f.) | *hóy, *híʔah, *háʔ; *tóy, *tíʔah, *táʔ | See the third person singular. |
7 | this | sā (m.); sī (f.) | *sóh, *síʔ, *sóṭ | |
8 | that | tā (m.); tī (f.) | *tóh, *tíʔ, *tóṭ; *hóh, *híʔ, *hóṭ; *ʔánoh, *ʔániʔ, *ʔánoṭ | *tóh |
9 | here | sam | *séhmi | |
10 | there | tam | *téhmi; *héhmi | |
11 | who | kī | *kóh, *kíʔ | From the feminine (since the masculine would give an identical form to the neuter). |
12 | what | kā | *kóh, *kíʔ, *kóṭ | From the neuter. |
13 | where | kam | *kéhmi | |
14 | when | kaṭā | *kóṭe | Zanahi: From an extended form, perhaps with an instrumental suffix (*-ʔ) or ablative suffix (*-ṭ). |
15 | how | kayf | *kéy | Zanahi: From *kéypo, a compound of *kéy "how, by what" + postpositional *po "from, due to" |
16 | not | lā; mā | *nē̆, *meʔ | lā: a modification of earlier *nā due to Semitic influence. |
