§ 162. The Goth. indefinit pronoun =sums=, f. =suma=, n. =sum=,
=sumata=, =sum= (Gr. τις, τι), inflects like a strong adjectiv and is
uzed adjectivly; with the meaning _sum one, a certain one_, it is also
uzed substantivly.
NOTE 1. An enumerativ expression is =sums...sums= (= Gr. ὁ μέν...ὁ
δέ). In most cases =uh= (§ 24, n. 2) is added to the second
=sums=, occasionally also to the first; as, =sumai...sumáih=, or
=sumáih...sumáih=, _sum ... others_.
NOTE 2. Also the interrogativ =ƕas= (§ 159) is very often uzed as
an indefinit prn., _anyone_.
§ 163. The enclitic particl =-hun= is uzed to form indefinit pronouns
which occur only with the negativ particl =ni=. Their meaning is _no
one, none_.
(a) The singular of =manna=, _man_ (§ 117), with the suffix =-hun=
means _no one_.--The extant forms ar:
n. =ni mannahun=,
d. =ni mannhun=,
g. =ni manshun=,
acc. =ni mannanhun=.
(b) =ni ƕashun= (< =ƕas=, § 159), uzed substantivly, _no one_. It
occurs in the nom. sg. m. only.--An analogon to =ƕashun= is =ƕanhun= (<
=ƕan=, § 214, n. 1).
(c) =ni ainshun=, the commonest indef. prn., is uzed substantivly (_no
one, none_) and adjectivly (_no, not any_). A following sb. occurs
always in the (partit.) gen.; e. g., =ni ainshun þiwê=, _no servant_;
Lu. XVI, 3.--The declension of =ainshun= differs in sum cases from that
of the simpl form =ains= (§ 140).
Sing. M. N. | F.
N. =ainshun= =ainhun= | =ainôhun=
G. =ainishun= | --
D. =ainummêhun= | =ainaihun=
A. =ainnôhun= } =ainhun= | =ainôhun=
=ainôhun= } |
NOTE. =-hun= is also affixt to the acc. sg. of the sb. =ƕeila= (§
97, n. 2): =ƕeilôhun=, _for an hour_ (=ni ƕeilôhun=, οὐδὲ πρὸς
ὥραν; Gal. II, 5).
§ 164. '_Every_' is renderd by affixing =-uh= to the interrogativ
pronouns.
(a) =ƕazuh=, _every_. A noun or prn. following takes the gen. Its
inflection differs in part from that of the simpl form =ƕas= (§ 159):
Sing. M. N. | F.
N. =ƕazuh= =ƕah= | =ƕôh=
G. =ƕizuh= | --
D. =ƕammêh= | --
A. =ƕanôh= =ƕah= | --
Plur. |
A. =ƕanzuh= -- | --
In the pl. only the acc. =ƕanzuh= occurs.
NOTE 1. The indef. relativ '_whoever, whosoever_' (Lt. quicunque)
is renderd: (1) by =ƕazuh saei= or, with =sa= prefixt, =saƕazuh
saei=. For =saei= also =izei= is found (§ 157, n. 3).--These
forms ar uzed in the nom. sg. only, the nom. n. =þataƕah þei=
(=þei= = =þatei=, § 157, n. 2) occurs twice: Jo. XV, 7. 16.--(2)
by =þisƕazuh= followd by =saei= or =ei= in all cases; the first
component, =þis=, remains uninflected: m. n. =þisƕazuh saei=, dat.
=þisƕammêh saei=, acc. =þisƕanôh saei=; --nom. acc. n. =þisƕah þei=
(or =þatei=), gen. =þisƕizuh þei=, dat. =þisƕammêh þei=.
NOTE 2. Here may be observd the adverbs: =ƕêh= (instr. of =ƕazuh=),
_at least, at any rate, only_, and =þisƕaduh þei=, _whithersoever_,
=þisƕaruh þei=, _wheresoever_ (cp. =ƕaþ=, =ƕar=, § 213, n. 1).
§ 165. (b) =ƕarjizuh=, _every, each_.
Sing. M. N. | F.
N. =ƕarjizuh= =ƕarjatôh= | --
G. =ƕarjizuh= | --
D. =ƕarjammêh= | --
A. =ƕarjanôh= [=ƕarjatôh=] | =ƕarjôh=
NOTE. =ƕarjizuh= is also compounded with (uninflected) =ain=:
=ainƕarjizuh=, _every one, every, each_, n. =ainƕarjatôh=, dat.
=ainƕarjammêh=, etc.
§ 166. _Each of two_ is renderd by =ƕaþaruh=; it occurs only in the
dat. =ƕaþarammêh= (Skeir. 46), for the evidently incorrect =ƕaþaramma=
(cp. Bernhardt's comment on this passage); --also with =ain-=
prefixt (cp. § 165, n. 1): =ainƕaþaruh=, _each one of two_ (only
=ainƕaþarammêh= occurs; Skeir. 41).
