In the same way is inflected i^nmi (relative l^ssuma) the one pre- 

 viously MENTIONED (Latin ille). 

 There are some other demonstrative pronouns — 



d^nna he (she, it) in the north 



qd^niia he in the south; he in there (in the house); he out there 

 (outside of the house) 



jpaPnna he up there in the east 



sa^nna he down there in tlie sea 



hmma he down there 



Myya he there in the south 



piyya he up there in the east 



All of these follow the paradigms of taa^na and hjrja. And just 

 as the latter forms with the prefix ia ta^ijya (the one previously 

 MENTIONED WE ARE SPEAKING of), SO all these pronouus may take the 

 prefix ta and signify the one we are just now speaking of (or 

 thinking of); as tamanna^ taqd^nna^ tasa}"n7i(i^ tal'dnna^ etc. 



These words hav^e no possessive inflection. Still more defective is 

 the inflection of the demonstrative local adverbs, in which three of 

 the inflectional endings of the demonstrative pronouns appear; e. g., — 



PARTICLES (§§ 51-54) 



Although words lacking inflection are not in themselves affected by 

 the manifold changes due to inflection, some of them at least exert 

 a certain influence on the syntactic structure or on the grammatical 

 forms of the words governed by them. This applies especially to the 

 modal and temporal particles (§ 52 and § 63), and will become clear 

 from the examples given below: 



§ 51. Interjections 



a amazement or bewilderment. 



■issse ajiissusee 'a how terrible the cold is ! (literally, the cold its 

 badness, a!) 



ta, aia, calls attention to something: look here !
