After _[=ae]lc th[=a]ra the_ (each of-those-who) the verb is put in the
sing., agreeing not with _th[=a]ra the_ but with _[=ae]lc_:--_[=ae]lc
th[=a]ra the th[=a]s m[=i]n word [.g]e.h[=i]erth_ (each of those who hear
these my words).
When _thaet_ or _this_ is connected with a plural predicate by means of the
verb 'to be,' the verb is put in the plural:--_thaet w[=ae]ron th[=a]
[=ae]restan s[.c]ipu D[e,]niscra manna the Angel-cynnes land
[.g]e.s[=o]hton_ (those were the first ships of Danish men which came to
the land of the English race).
Impersonal verbs take an accusative of the person, sometimes also with a
genitive of the thing.
Others, such as _thyn[.c]an_ (appear), take a dative of the person:--_waes
him [.g]e.th[=u]ht thaet h[=i]e be.h[=y]dden thaet h[=e]afod_ (they thought
they (the Danes) had hidden the head).
