188 Syntax [§ 43' (except in the nom. sing, masc., see § 230), and sama, same; silba, self; are always declined weak. PRONOUNS. § 431. The nominative of the personal pronouns is generally omitted, except when the person is to be mentioned with special emphasis. When a pronoun stands for two substantives of different genders it is put in the neuter plural, as miþþanei þō wēsun jáinar, while they (Joseph and Maty) were there; is is sometimes used where we should expect sa, as iþ is dugann mērjan filu .... swaswē is ni mahta in baúrg galeiþan, but he (the leper) began to publish it widely . ... so that he (Jesus) could not enter into the city; saei bigitiþ sáiwala seina, fraqisteiþ izái, jah saei fraqisteiþ sáiwalái seinái in meina, bigitib þō, he that findeth his life shall lose it, and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. The reflexive pronoun always relates to the subject of its own sentence, as nih Saúlaúmōn in allamma wulþáu seinamma gawasida sik swē áins þizē, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these; swa lagga hreila swē miþ sis haband brūþfad, ni magun fastan, as long as they [sunjus] have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast; jah [lēsus] gawaúrhta twalif du wisan miþ sis, and [Jesus] appointed twelve to be with him; jah suns ufkunnands lēsus ahmin seinamma þatei swa bái mitō-dēdun sis, qab du im, and immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them. The manner in which the possessive pronoun of the third person is expressed has already been stated in § 263, examples are:—qiþa izwis þatei haband mizdōn seina, / tell you that they have their reward; urrann sa saiands du saian fráiwa seinamma, the sower went forth to sow his seed; dáupidái wēsun allái...... andháitan-
