Etymology 1

Pronoun

cplfsg3.enclitic (‘dependent’) pronoun

1. she,her,it,they,them;by Middle Egyptian often, but not exclusively, used for inanimate objects (see usage notes)

Usage notes

By the time of Late Egyptian, this pronoun in the singular was no longer strictly feminine but common to both genders, as it had entirely merged with the masculine equivalentswthrough sound change.

This form of pronoun is anencliticthat must directly follow the word it modifies. Its meaning depends on its context:

• When it follows a verb, it indicates theobjectof the verb.
• In the second and third person when it follows an adjective, it forms thesubjectof an adjectival sentence.
• When it follows a relative adjective, such asntj,ntt,orjsṯ,it indicates thesubjectof the relative clause (usually only in the first person singular and third person common).
• When it follows an imperative, it indicates thesubjectortheobjectof the verb.
• When it follows a particle likem.k,it indicates thesubjectof the clause.
• When attached to a preposition, it indicates theobjectof the preposition.
