THE PRONOUNS 107 Dewe reffasowia an eglez ni, Ha an prounterian da eze et an gy, God save our churches and the good parsons that are in them. And in Boson's version of the Commandments we find gwitha gerrio ve for " keep my commandments." 3. PRONOMINAL PREPOSITIONS. The prepositional form of the pronouns may be applied to almost any preposition, but there are a certain number of common cases in which the prepositions are modified by the composition, vowels being altered or letters being inserted between the preposition and this fragmentary pronoun, either for euphony or as survivals of archaic forms of the preposition or pronoun. The most usual of these modified forms occur in the com- position of the prepositions a, of or from, dre, through, gans, with, dhort (earlier dheworth and adheworth, Welsh oddiwrth], from, orth (or worth}, at, to, rag, for, dho, to, war, upon, en or idn, in. ahanav, from me. dredhov, through me. ahanas, from thee. dredhos, through thee. anodhoj from him. dredho, through him. anedhi, from her. dredhi, through her. ahanan, from us. dredkon, through us. ahanough, from you. dredhough, through you. anodhans, from them.
