гэ́ны(hény) is an older, dialectal demonstrative pronoun. InStandard Academic Belarusian, the regular system makes only a two-way distinction between demonstratives in relation to the speaker and addressee:

• (proximal)гэ́ты(héty,“this”)

• (distal)той(toj,“that”)

In dialects, older texts, and some speakers' usage, a three-way distinction is sometimes observed:

• (proximal, near the speaker)гэ́ты(héty,“this”)

• (medial, closer to the addressee or in between)гэ́ны(hény,“that”)

• (distal, away from both speaker and addressee)той(toj,“that yonder”)^[1][2]
