sá

Radestrian

Alternative forms

• -sá (pronominal enclitic)
• sáv (before the definite article)

Etymology

From Middle Radestrian sá, from Old Radestrian sǣ, inherited from Proto-Radic *śǣ, from Proto-Hirdic *sjē, from Proto-Laenkean *sjej.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /saː/
  • (colloquial) /sa/
• Rhymes: -aː ⁽⁴⁾, -a ⁽⁵⁸⁾

Preposition

sá

1. (spatial) to (abode/establishment/boundary)

   Sá stíma fvelge.

   I’m going to a friend’s.

   Sáv ag ardesa horte.

   I’m driving to work.

   Sáv a dziun fvelge.

   I’m walking to the house.

Usage notes

• Before the definite article, the form sáv is used.
  • Historically, the -v is from the definite article, rather than an older form of the preposition. This v was then rebracketed by analogy with other prepositions, such as fje, which have definite forms in -v.
• The enclitic form is used in combination with weak pronominal complements:
