g 19. Reciprocal possessive. 



This is itti, ittim, ittin, of, to, for, from eacli other; as, itti halvlli, they 

 pull from or against each other. Both these and the preceding class, 

 unite with the subjective personal inseparable pronouns. 

 § 20. The inarriage or sacred pronoun. 



This is ho before consonants, oh before vowels. It is used in the first, 

 second, and third persons singular, and the second and third persons 

 plural, as a substitute for son-in-law, father-in-law, mother-in-law, their 

 brothers, sisters, and cousins. It has no variation to express number, 

 case, or gender. " It is limited in use to the persons whose relationship is 

 created by marriage; except the husband and wife. It is going out of use, 

 as well as tlie ancient usages about marriage, especially that which re- 

 quired the mother-in-law and son-in-law to avoid each other. The use of 

 this pronoun may be compared to the emphatic he or she, with wliich the 

 master or mistress of the house is sometimes referred to in English; as, 

 when he comes back, meaning father, or husband. The father says to his 

 son-in-law, vmissuba ik hopeso, has he not seen my horse? oh ia hh, I 

 went with him; lio mintilih, I come with him, or her; oh ant ik sapeso ka 

 hinlah? will he not come to see me?
