Etymology 1

Pronoun

 c pl and f sg 3. 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 equivalent sw through sound change.

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

• When it follows a verb, it indicates the object of the verb.
• In the second and third person when it follows an adjective, it forms the subject of an adjectival sentence.
• When it follows a relative adjective, such as ntj, ntt, or jsṯ, it indicates the subject of the relative clause (usually only in the first person singular and third person common).
• When it follows an imperative, it indicates the subject or the object of the verb.
• When it follows a particle like m.k, it indicates the subject of the clause.
• When attached to a preposition, it indicates the object of the preposition.
