Usage notes
The following rules apply to all Sette Comuni Cimbrian possessive determiners:
- They are inflected by number and gender in only exclamations (i.e. vocative case).
- Before nouns, they are inflected for number only and follow the corresponding definite article (a form of dar).
- The plural ending is -en, or -∅ when the pronoun itself ends in -n.
- Predicatively, they are uninflected and the definite article is not used.
- Following bon (“of”) or dar (the only surviving trace of a genitive definite article; used for all numbers and genders) they end in -darn.
