V. +Adverbs.+

The Norse forms _hethen_, _quethen_ (_whethen_),[66] and _thethen_, seem

to have been known to the West-Midland dialect as well as the Saxon

forms _hence_ (_hennes_, _henne_), _whence_ (_whennes_), _thence_

(_thennes_), etc. The adverbs _in-blande_ (together), _in-lyche_

(alike), _in-mydde_ (amidst), _in-monge_ (amongst), are due, perhaps, to

Scandinavian influence.
