M 



m' (or, as written by Eliot, m followed 

 by a short vowel ) is an indeterminate 

 and impersonal prefix which may be 

 translated by 'some,' 'any,' or occa- 

 sionally by 'a,' 'an,' or 'the.' Du- 

 ponceau (notes to Eliot's Gr. xiv) 

 mistook this prefix for 'a definite arti- 

 cle', as Howse (p. 245) has shown. 

 It is found with substantives signify- 

 ing the body and its parts, with the 

 names of a few objects which were 

 regarded as specially belonging to the 

 person, and with some concrete and 

 material nouns, e. g. m'a^keht, grass 

 (from askehteuu, it is green) ; m'ay, path, 

 way (from du, he goes); m'in, a fruit 

 (from -in, formative of verbs of grow- 

 ing), etc. In all these it retains its 

 primary signification as a negative or 

 its secondary as a preteritive particle 

 (see mo). It negates the personal re- 

 lation or appropriation which the pro- 

 nominal prefixes affirm, e. g. nut-toh 

 {n'laJt), my heart; ktitiah (k'tah), thy 

 heart; mclah (m'iah), heart, not mine 

 or thine, but some or any heart. It has 

 in no case a definite or determinate 

 fon-e, but always the opposite.
