Proto-Norse

Etymology

This form cannot be directly descended from Proto-Germanic *þôz, feminine nominative/accusative plural of *sa (that) (whence Gothic 𐌸𐍉𐍃 (þōs)). It rather appears to be formed from masculine nominative plural *þai, suffixed with the feminine ending *-ōz. Compare ᚦᚱᛁᛃᛟᛉ (þrijoʀ /⁠þrijōʀ⁠/, three) (feminine nominative), formed in the same way.

Pronoun
