This and That
This:
To express an object as “This” we need to put “an” before the object and “ma” after. For example:
Maw – a boy, is amended to “an maw ma” which makes the phrase “this boy”
Benyn – a woman, is amended to “an venyn ma” which makes the phrase “this woman” Note in this case “Benyn” is feminine (benow) and “an” creates a soft mutation and so becomes “an venyn”
That:
To express an object as “That” we need to put “an” before the object and “na” after, For example:
Gwely – a bed, is amended to “an gwely na” which makes the phrase “that bed”
Pluven – a pen, is amended to “an bluven na” which makes the phrase “that pen” Note again in this case Pluven is feminine (benow) and singular and “an” before it creates a soft mutation and so becomes “bluven”
