<p>I've been trying to fill in some of the gaps in the grammar, just to<br>
be excessive. Now, I'm sure some of these forms wouldn't have any real<br>
use, or even make much sense if they were used, but humour me please.<br>
<br>
Given that "twans hwanzuh" is attested, I've reconstructed the forms<br>
of hwas and hwazuh as follows:<br>
---<br>
hwas ?hwai?<br>
hwana hwans<br>
hwis ?hwe?<br>
hwamma ?hwaim?<br>
<br>
hwa hwo?<br>
hwa hwo?<br>
hwis hwe?<br>
hwamma hwaim?<br>
instrumental:<wbr>hwe<br>
<br>
hwo ?hwos<br>
hwo ?hwos<br>
hwizos ?hwizo<br>
hwizai ?hwaim<br>
---<br>
<br>
hwazuh ?hwaih<br>
hwanoh hwanzuh<br>
hwizuh ?hweh<br>
hwammeh ?hwaimeh<br>
<br>
hwah ?hwoh<br>
hwah ?hwoh<br>
hwizuh ?hweh<br>
hwammeh ?hwaimeh<br>
<br>
hwoh ?hwozuh<br>
hwoh ?hwozuh<br>
hwizozuh ?hwizoh<br>
hwizaih ?hwaimeh<br>
------------<br>
<br>
And then mannhun:<br>
<br>
mannahun ?mannanshun/<wbr>manshun<br>
mannanhun ?mannanshun/<wbr>manshun<br>
manshun ?mannehun<br>
mannhun ?mannamhun <br>
<br>
------------<wbr>-<br>
<br>
And the preterite-presents:<br>
<br>
witan wait witum wissa wiss<br>
lisan* lais lisum* lista lists<br>
dugan* daug dugum* dauhta* dauhts*<br>
kunnan kann kunnum kuntha kunths*<br>
şaurban şarf şaurbum şaurfta şaurfts<br>
gadaursan gadars gadaursum gadaursta gadaursts*<br>
skulan skal skulum skulda skulds<br>
munan man munum munda munds<br>
binauhan* binah binauhum* binauhta* binauhts<br>
ganauhan* ganah ganauhum* ganauhta* ganauhts*<br>
gamotan gamot gamotum* gamosta gamosts*<br>
ogan*/agan* og ogum* ohta ohts*<br>
magan mag magum mahta mahts<br>
aigan/aihan aih/aig aigum/aihum aihta aihts*<br>
------------<wbr>--<br>
<br>
How do these look? If these forms existed, would they be correct? I<br>
can at least imagine someone using the plural forms of mannahun just<br>
as a matter of style:<br>
<br>
"Nist mannahun saei..."<br>
"Ni sind mannanshun şaiei..."<br>
<br>
Anyway, any proofreading quick proofreading of the paradigms would be<br>
appreciated. Or if you just want to tell me that I'm crazy for caring<br>
about the plural of "what".<br>
<br>
