is inflected. Gen. sing, _one's own self_: plural, _my wife and
little ones are well_.
_Derived pronouns._--_Any_, in Anglo-Saxon, _aenig_. In Old High German we
have _ein[^i]c_ = _any_, and _einac_ = _single_. In Anglo-Saxon _[^a]nega_
means _single_. In Middle High German _einec_ is always single. In New High
German _einig_ means, 1. _a certain person_ (_quidam_), 2. _agreeing_;
_einzig_, meaning _single_. In Dutch _[^e]nech_ has both meanings. This
indicates the word _['a]n_, _one_, as the root of the word in question.
_Compound pronouns._--_Which_, as has been already stated more than once,
is most incorrectly called the neuter of _who_. Instead of being a neuter,
it is a compound word. The adjective _leiks_, _like_, is preserved in the
Moeso-Gothic words _galeiks_ and _missaleiks_. In Old High German the form
is _lih_, in Anglo-Saxon _lic_. Hence we have Moeso-Gothic _hv[^e]leiks_;
Old High German, _huelih_; Anglo-Saxon, _huilic_ and _hvilc_; Old Frisian,
_hwelik_; Danish, _hvilk-en_; German, _welch_; Scotch, _whilk_; English,
_which_. The same is the case with--
1. _Such_.--Moeso-Gothic, _svaleiks_; Old High German, _s[^o]l[^i]h_; Old
Saxon, _sul[^i]c_; Anglo-Saxon, _svilc_; German, _solch_; English, _such_.
Rask's derivation of the Anglo-Saxon _swilc_ from _swa-ylc_, is
exceptionable.
2. _Thilk_.--An old English word, found in the provincial dialects, as
_thick_, _thuck_, _theck_, and hastily derived by Tyrwhitt, Ritson, and
Weber, from _se ylca_, is found in the following forms: Moeso-Gothic,
_th['e]leiks_; Norse, _thvilikr_.
3. _Ilk_.--Found in the Scotch, and always preceded by the article; _the
ilk_, or _that ilk_, meaning _the same_. In Anglo-Saxon this word is
_ycla_, preceded also by the article _se ylca_, _se['o] ylce_, _thaet
ylce_. In English, as seen above, the word is replaced by _same_. In no
other Gothic dialect does it occur. According to Grimm, this is no simple
word, but a compound one, of which some such word as _ei_ is the first, and
_l[^i]c_ the second element.
_Aught_.--In Moeso-Gothic is found the particle, _aiv_, _ever_, but only in
negative propositions; _ni_ (_not_) preceding it. Its Old High German form
is _[^e]o_, _io_; in Middle High German, _ie_; in New High German, _je_; in
Old Saxon, _io_; in Anglo-Saxon, [^a]; in Norse, ae. Combined with this
particle the word _whit_ (_thing_) gives the following forms: Old High
German, _[^e]owiht_; Anglo-Saxon, _[^a]viht_; Old Frisian,
