Abstract

[OHG eino (OE ana) ‘solus’ follows as predicate complement or apposition upon personal nouns and pronouns; only enclitics, including finite verbs, may intervene. With got and synonyms, however, it occurs attributively and as translation of ‘unus’: here the missionary had stretched the native idiom.]
