> 1. The Gender of Nouns
>
> Nouns and adjectives in modern P-Celtic languages are not declined. All
> that remains of the original Prythonic declensions is gender. There were
> originally three genders, masculine, feminine, and neuter. Nouns
belonging
> to the neuter gender passed into either the masculine or feminine
genders
> according to the similarity of neuter genders. In consequence a word may
> be feminine in Cornish and masculine in Welsh. The general rule in
> Reconstructed ***bric is to follow Welsh usage.
>
>
>
> 2. The Plurals of Nouns
>
> ***bric plurals are formed in three ways.
>
> i. By the addition of plural suffixes. Two ***bric plural suffixes
have
> survived. These are -ow as in Blencogo, which corresponds to Welsh -au,
> and ydd as in Werneth and Warren Burn (Warnet c.1157), which corresponds
> to Welsh -ydd.
>
> ii. By vowel mutation. An example of a plural formed by vowel mutation
> exists in the place-name Tranent, earlier Trev er Nent, meaning the
Villa
> of the Narrow Valleys, the ***bric of which is *tref yr neint.
>
> iii. By the existence of aggregate plurals from which singulars are
> formed by the addition of diminutive suffixes. A good example of
> this is Ketton in Rutland, which means a tree. This in ***bric is
caithen,
> meaning a tree,from caith meaning a wood.
>
> N.B., Some Welsh plurals are formed by vowel mutation and the addition
of
> plural suffixes. A good example of this is neintydd, the plural of nant,
> which means a stream. It can be seen from the example of Trev er Nent
that
> the additional of plural suffixes after vowel mutations was dispensed
with
> in ***bric.
>
>
>
> 3. The Definite Article
>
> There are three ***bric definite articles.
>
> i. The definite article y as in Blencogo (Blen e Cogou c.1256), the
> ***bric of which is *blain y cogow.
>
> ii. The definite article yr as in Tranent (earlier Trev er Nent), the
> ***bric of which is *tref yr neint, and Terregles (earler Trev er
Egles),
> the ***bric of which is *tref yr egles.
>
> iii. The definite article yn as in Liscard (Lhis en Cark c.1256), the
> ***bric of which is *lys yn cark, and Tallentire, the ***bric of which
is
> *tal yn tir.
>
> Although no grammatical rules governing the definite article can be
found
> it is to be presumed that grammatical rules would have been invented if
> Old ***bric had become a written language. The present grammatical rules
> therefore apply.

> 4. The Indefinite Article
>
> No indefinite article exists in Welsh, but Breton has three indefinite
> articles, UR, UN, and UL, which are governed by the same rule that
governs
> the definite article. Cornish has a definite article that is
occasionally
> used to emphasise the noun. ***bric follows Cornish because of the
> Northcountry indefinite articles yan and yin, from ***bric un.
>
>
>
> 5. The Genitive
>
> i. Adjectival genitives are formed in Welsh, Cornish, Breton, and
> ***bric by placing two indefinite nouns together, thus the ***bric
> place-name Blencarn means (The) Cairn's Summit. Whole genitive sentences
> can be formed, such as the Welsh sentence: Sail ty mab brenin Lloegr,
> meaning, 'The foundation of the house of the son of the king of
England,'
> the ***bric of which is *Sail ty map brenin Lhaigr.
>
> ii. The definite article can be used in place of the English 'of ' to
> form a genitive by being placed between two or more nouns, such as the
> Welsh sentence: Y sail y ty y mab y brenin y Lloegr, hence the ***bric
> place-name Blencogo from *blain y cogow.

> 6. Mutations

> change. This is called mutation. There is some evidence that ***bric, in

> demonstrative adverb follows the noun.
>
>
>

> 15. Demonstrative Adjectives without a Qualifying Noun
>
> Demonstrative adjectives without a qualifying noun are made in the same
> way by using an indefinite article.
>

> Welsh
> Cornish

>

> an re-na
> y ra-na
>
>
>
>
> N.B. In Cornish and ***bric the levelling of the diphthong AI to E in
the
> case of Cornish and A in the case of ***bric occasions the disappearance
> of the preceding consonant. A levelling of y rhai hwn in Welsh to y
ra-ma
> in ***bric follows the same linguistic rule that is responsible for the
> Cornish y re-ma.
>
>
>
>
>
>
>
> 16. The Demonstrative Adverb
>
>
>
> English
> Welsh
> Cornish
> Breton
> ***bric
>
> here
> yma
> omma
> eman
> yma
>
> there
> yna
> ena
> eno (azo)
> yna
>
>
>
>
> The demonstrative adverb can also serve to answer to the English
phrases,
> "here is a.here are" and "there is a.there are." If the definite article
> is used ***bric, like Medieval Welsh and Cornish, uses the vocative, "Lo
> the man" as in Medieval Welsh, "Wel y dyn", and in Cornish "Ot an den."
> Because of the mutation of short E to short A in ***bric the ***bric
> equivalent is, "Wal y dyn."
>
>
>
> 17. The Adverbial Particle
>
>
>
> In Welsh, Cornish, and ***bric the adverbial particle yn is placed
before
> adjectives in order to turn them into adverbs, thus in Welsh drwg (bad)
> and da (good) become yn ddrwg and yn dda, Cornish drok and da become
> yn-trok and yn-ta, and so in ***bric drwc and da become yn ddrwc and yn
> dda.
>
>
>
> 18. Relative Pronouns
>
>
>
> Welsh, Cornish, and ***bric translations into Welsh possess relative
> pronouns that correspond to the English relative "that" and "which". In
> positive sentences this relative pronoun is A before vowels and
> consonants. In negative sentences is NA before consonants but NAD in
Welsh
> and NANS in Cornish before vowels. The corresponding ***bric is NADD.
>
> When a preposition or the genitive "whose" is used the relative
pronoun
> Y is substituted for A in Welsh and the preposition is placed at the end
> of the sentence, thus on Welsh, "Dyma'r llyfr y darllenais y stori
ynddo"
> (Here is the book which I read the story in it). Welsh "dyma" is a
variant
> of "yma," which means here or here is, and which corresponds to the
Breton
> "eman". this rule appears in Taliesin, for example;"Trist yd gwyn pob
> colledig" or ""Sadly does every condemned one complain"; therefore it
> appears in ***bric, hence, "Yma'r lyfr y darlenais y saga ynddo."
>
>
>
> English
> Welsh
> ***bric
>
> the one
> yr hwn
> yr hon
>
> that which
> y neb
> y nep
>
> such ones
> r rhai
> y rai
>
> either
> y naill
> y nail
>
> who
> pwy
> pwy
>
> what
> pa
> pa
>
> which one
> pa un
> pa un
>
> which ones
> pa rhai
> pa rai
>
> how many
> pa sol
> pa sol
>
> what place, where
>
> why
> pa le, ple
>
> py
> pa le, p'le
>
> pa am. p'am
>
> how are you
> pa sut sydd
> pa sut sydd, pa su'dd
>
>
>
>
> In Welsh the relative pronoun pwy is followed by a special form of the
> verb to be, which is sydd, or sy for short. It is not necessary to use
the
> phrase "pwy sydd" since "sydd" alone implies the interrogative pronoun
> "pwy". Note that in Welsh relative pronouns occasion the lenition of G,
B,
> D and M, and the aspirate mutation of C, P. T. No example of aspirate
> lenition has been discovered in ***bric place-names with the result that
> only the lenition of G,B, and D occurs after relative pronouns.

>
> 19. Reflexive Pronouns
>
>
>
> 20. Inflected Prepositional Pronouns
>
>
>
> In Welsh the following prepositions are inflected by adopting the
personal
> pronoun, am (about), ar (upon), at ( towards), er (for), heb (without),
> hyd (until), i (to), idd (into), han (from), can (with), o (from), odd
> (from), tan (under), tros (over), trwy (through), oddiar (from upon),
> odditan (from beneath), rhag (before), rhwng (among), wrth (by), and yn
> (in). ***bric follows Old Welsh, Cornish, and Breton usage. The Old
Welsh
> inflection found in the third person plural appears in Taliesin,
"Deuddeg
> meib Israel a thair mam iddu onaddu y doeth rhad a geisidydd mad." (The

>
> In Prythonic adjectives preceded the noun, as in some early ***bric
> place-names, but adjectives later began to follow the noun in all
P-Celtic
> languages. In Welsh there are a few exceptions, such as hen (old) and
> uchel (high). With regard to uchel, this is confirmed in ***bric by the
