Indefinites are formed with _sw[=a]_ and the interrogative pronouns,
thus:--_sw[=a] hw[=a] sw[=a]_, _sw[=a] hwel[.c] sw[=a]_ (whoever), _sw[=a]
hwaet sw[=a]_ (whatever). {22}
_[=A]n_ and _sum_ (some) are used in an indefinite sense:--_[=a]n mann_,
_sum mann_ = 'a certain man,' hence 'a man.' But the indefinite article is
generally not expressed.
_[=Ae]l[.c]_ (each), _[=ae]ni[.g]_ (any), _n[=ae]ni[.g]_ (no, none), are
declined like other adjectives.
_[=O]ther_ (other) is always strong:--_th[=a] [=o]thre m[e,]nn_.
_Man_, another form of _mann_, is often used in the indefinite sense of
'one,' French _on_:--_his br[=o]thor Horsan man of.sl[=o]g_ (they killed
his brother Horsa).
