Radestrian

Alternative forms

• u (proscribed informal spelling)

Etymology

From Middle Radestrian hú, from Old Radestrian hū, inherited from Proto-Radic *hū (genitive *βehtg, *βehtıg), from Proto-Hirdic *p̄ū(s) (genitive *bhehtɯ́ḡ), from Proto-Laenkean *pɯws- (oblique *bʱĭh-́). Doublet of hú (“ego”).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /u/, /uː/ (emphatic/enunciated)
• Homophones: u
• Rhyme: -u ⁽⁷¹⁾

Pronoun

ú (genitive singular vesk, vetú, possessive virș, viriș)

1. first-person singular pronoun; I, me

Usage notes

• Outside of emphatic usage or in careful pronunciation, ú is almost always pronounced with a short vowel.
• A non-standard strong dative form vevan exists, which is a conflation of the prescribed form veva and the enclitic ven. Despite being proscribed, it is quite common in colloquial speech.
  • This is the only pronoun where this occurs: **rán does not exist as an alternative to rá (“you”, strong dative), for example.
