Cornish
[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]From Proto-Celtic *sī (compare Welsh hi).
Alternative forms
[edit]Pronoun
[edit]hy
Etymology 2
[edit]From Proto-Brythonic *eið, from *esyās f; compare Old Irish a (“his, her, its, their”) and अस्यास् (asyā́s, “her”).
Pronunciation
[edit]- (Revived Late Cornish) IPA(key): /i/
Determiner
[edit]hy
- (possessive) her, its (with reference to feminine nouns; triggers aspirate mutation of following consonant)
- hy has hi
- her seeds
Pronoun
[edit]hy
- her, it (with reference to feminine nouns; as object of a verbal noun; triggers aspirate mutation of following consonant)
- My vedn hy fe hei.
- I will pay her.
- Ny wonn hy hegi.
- I do not know how to cook it.
Usage notes
[edit]- Dual marking of possession is possible by adding hi/hei after the noun or verbal noun which hy precedes. Although originally a form of emphasis, in Late Cornish this structure had largely lost its emphatic meaning.
- In Late Cornish, masculine y and feminine hy had become homophonic with the pronunciation /i/.

Pronunciation
[edit]Pronoun
[edit]hy
- he (third-person singular masculine pronoun)
Usage notes
[edit]The accusative him is used roughly like "himself" and "itself" in English. In these cases, it is used after a verb when there is another object in the sentence. For example:
- Dy partij stelt him op it stânpunt fan it federalisme.
- This party puts itself on the standpoint of federalism.
In other reflexive cases, the reflexively marked pronoun himsels is used.
The clitic form er is used before the object of the sentence or after the verb, if there is one. It is never the first word of a sentence.
- Doe't er in swolch naam
- When he took a swallow
Especially in narrative, er is used in the past tense.
