CORRELATION.

Correlation is often more fully expressed in Old than in Modern English, as

in _th[=a] th[=a] m[e,]nn sl[=e]pon, th[=a] c[=o]m his f[=e]onda sum_ =

'_when_ the men slept, _then_ came one of his enemies.' In _th[=a] th[=a]_

= 'when' the two correlatives are brought immediately together:--_th[=a]

th[=a] h[=e] s[=e]ow, sumu h[=i]e f[=e]ollon with we[.g]_ = 'then when he

sowed, some of them fell by the road.' In the following example the

conjunction _thaet_ is correlative with the pronoun _thaet_:--_thaes ic

[.g]e.wilni[.g]e thaet ic [=a]na ne be.l[=i]fe aefter m[=i]num l[=e]ofum

the[.g]num_--'that I desire, that I may not remain alone after my dear

thanes.' Sometimes a word is used to include both the demonstrative and the

relative meaning:--_h[=e] [.g]e.br[=o]hte hine th[=ae]r h[=e] hine [=ae]r

[.g]e.nam_ (he brought him to the place where he took him from). {53}
