654. Other case forms are found in inscriptions, as follows:

MEEIS, MIEIS, monosyllable; TOVAM; SVEI, SOVOM, SOVO, SVVO, SOVEIS,

SVEIS, SVIEIS.

655. Emphasis is given (1.) by #-met# added to #suō#, #suā#, #suōs#, and

to #mea# and #sua#, neuter plural: as, #suōmet#; (2.) by #-pte#, which

is oftenest found with the ablative: as, #suōpte#.

(B.) OTHER PRONOUNS.

656. Some pronouns have a peculiar genitive singular in #-ī̆us# and

dative singular in #-ī#, for masculine, feminine, and neuter alike.

These are: #iste#, #ille#, #ipse#, #uter#, and their derivatives. Some

other words of a pronoun character also have this form of the genitive

and dative: see 618.

657. In verse, the #-ī-# of the genitive is often shortened, and always

in #utriusque#; but #neutrīus# is not found with short i. In dramatic

verse, the genitive singular of #iste#, #ille#, or #ipse#, is often two

syllables.

658. #hīc#, is, #quī# or #quis#, and their derivatives have the genitive

singular in #-ius#, thus: #huius#, #eius#, and #quoius# or #cuius#; in

dramatic verse, these genitives are often one syllable. Their datives

are #huic# for #hoice#, #ē̆ī# or #e͡i#, and #quoi# or #cui#.

659. Six words have a peculiar neuter nominative and accusative singular

in #-d#: #id#, #illud#, #istud#, #quid#, #quod#, #aliud#, and

derivatives. In manuscripts, #-t# is sometimes found for #-d#: as, #it#,

#illut#, #istut#, &c.; sometimes also in inscriptions of the empire. In

#hoc# for #*hod-ce# and in #istuc# and #illuc# for #*istud-ce#,

#*illud-ce#, the #d# has vanished (166, 1; 171, 1).
