The accusative formo has variant formslo andno. These alternative forms appear depending on the ending of the preceding word. The formlo is used when the preceding word ends in-r or-s. Theno form is used when the preceding word ends in-u or a diphthong. These alternative forms are then suffixed to the preceding word.

The accusative also forms contractions when it immediately follows an indirect object pronoun. For example,dou che o contracts todoucho(I gave it to you).

Etymology

[edit]

A contraction ofelektricitet orelektrisk, that must have taken place between 1920 and 1975. SAOB (letter E edited in 1921) does not mention this, but does mention the prefixelektro-.Lilla Focus (1961) mentionsel- as a prefix, but not as a word of its own.

The use ofel as a stand-alone word (not just a prefix) was discussed inTeknisk Tidskrift,15 December 1934, referring to a proposal from "Fera", Föreningen för elektricitetens rationella användning, an association of electric power grid operators.

Man framhåller nämligen med bestämdhet, att "el" ej får betraktas som förkortning utan som en beteckning för allt som har med elektricitet att göra, avsedd att brukas enbart eller i sammansättningar som prefix eller suffix och aldrig tillsammans med punkt och bindestreck. Språkligt sett, kan väl ordet närmast betraktas som en ellips
Teknisk Tidskrift, 15 December 1934
Translation:
Indeed, it is firmly emphasized that "el" must not be regarded as an abbreviation but as a designation for everything related to electricity, intended for use solely or in combinations as a prefix or suffix, and never together with a period and hyphen. Linguistically, the word can be considered akin to an ellipsis.
