1759 metų „Ziwato” negimininiai įvardžiai ir jų raida

<p><strong>NONGENDERED </strong><strong>PRONOUNS IN “ZIWATAS” </strong><strong>(1759) </strong><strong>AND THEIR EVOLUTION</strong></p><p><em>Summary</em></p><p>The following general conclusions can be made after comparison of the declensions of the stems of nongendered pronouns in the “Ziwatas” dialect with modern dialect of Kretinga. Only shortened forms of the dative singular case <em>mun, </em><em>tau, </em><em>sau </em>are used consistently in “Ziwatas”. The forms <em>mo</em><em>̩̂</em><em>n </em>and <em>mo</em><em>̩̀</em><em>nęi,</em><em> ta</em><em>̂</em><em>u </em>and <em>ta</em><em>̀</em><em>ve</em><em>̩̩̂</em><em>i, </em><em>sa</em><em>̂</em><em>u </em>and <em>sa</em><em>̀</em><em>ve</em><em>̩̩̂</em><em>i </em>are used in the Kretinga dialect nowadays. There are postpositive locative cases of pronouns occasionally used in “Ziwatas”, but they are not authentic. In the north Zemaitian dialect of Kretinga the plural forms <em>mu</em><em>̂ˑ</em><em>s^a</em><em>, </em><em>ju</em><em>̂ˑ</em><em>s^a </em>are used. These are created on the basis of the forms of the genitive singular case. The text analyzed here still records the older forms <em>mu</em><em>ʃ</em><em>u </em>27₈<strong><em>, </em></strong><em>ju</em><em>ʃ</em><em>u </em>96₂.
