Note 2. ƕas has no plural; cp. however ƕanzuh, [§ 164], n.

Note 3. ƕas is also employd as an indefinit prn.; cp. [§ 162], n. 2.

§ [160]. From stem ƕa- ar derived: ƕaþar, which of two?, and ƕarjis, which? A substantiv following is always put in the gen. Both words inflect like strong adjectivs—ƕaþar like anþar (cp. [§ 124], n. 1), ƕarjis like midjis ([§ 125]), f. ƕarja, the n. *ƕarjata like ƕarjatôh ([§ 165]).

§ [161]. Compound interrogativs: ƕileiks, what sort of?, 'qualis?' (its correlativ being swaleiks, such, 'talis'), and ƕêlauþs, f. ƕêlauda, how great?, 'quantus?' (correlativ swalauþs, so great, 'tantus'). These words inflect like a strong adjectiv.

Note. ƕeleiks (in Lu. I, 29), for ƕileiks, is probably miswritn (according to [§ 10], n. 5).

6. INDEFINIT PRONOUNS.

§ [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.
