They are simply long A, long E, etc. (ā, ē, ī, ō, ū). Nor is there any uncertainty with respect to the six mutes B, C, D, G, P, T. Their names are bē, cē, dē, gē, pē, tē (each with a long E). Or about H, K, and Q: they are hā, kā, kū—each, again, with a long vowel sound." (Thisetymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at theEtymology scriptorium .)

Aletter of the North Frisianalphabet , written in theLatin script . The reduced vowel is mostly represented by ⟨e ⟩. The alternative use of ⟨i ⟩ is restricted to the insular dialects:In Föhr-Amrum Frisian, it only occurs when the suffix-n is added to a word whose basic form ends in-e . For example,fraagin is infinitive II offraage ( “ to ask ” ) , distinguished fromfraagen , the plural offraag ( “ question ” ) . In Sylt Frisian, any word-final[ə] is spelt ⟨i ⟩. It remains before inflectional-n or-s , but changes to ⟨e ⟩ before other suffixes. For example,fraagi →fraagin , butdü fraagest . Moreover, ⟨i ⟩ occurs in the prefixbi- and word-internally in adapted borrowings (gi nau from German,Jani waari from Latin). ( North Frisian letters ) : a ,ä ,å ,ā ,b ,c ,d ,đ ,e ,ē ,f ,g ,h ,i ,j ,k ,l ,m ,n ,o ,ö ,p ,r ,s ,t ,u ,ü ,v ,w (q ,x ,y ,z )i ( Sylt )
you ,you all ( second-person plural personal pronoun ) The reduced forms with an apostrophe areenclitic ; they immediately follow verbs or conjunctions.Dü is deleted altogether in such contexts. Et is not enclitic and can stand in any unstressed position; the full subject formhat is now rarely used. Inreflexive use, only full object forms occur.The dual forms are dated, but not obsolete as in other dialects. Independent possessives are distinguished from attributive ones only with plural referents. FromOld Norse í ( “ in ” ) , fromProto-Germanic *in ( “ in, into ” ) , fromProto-Indo-European *én ( “ in ” ) .

( masculine and feminine plural definite article ) the Synonym: li As for other Romance languages, such as Neapolitan or Portuguese, Sicilian definite articles have undergone a consonant lenition that has led to the phonetic fall of the initiall . The use of this illiquid variant has not yet made the use of liquid variants disappear, but today it is still the prevalent use in speech and writing. In the case of the production of literary texts, such as singing or poetry, or of formal and institutional texts, resorting to "liquid articles" and "liquid articulated prepositions" confers greater euphony to the text, although it may sound a form of courtly recovery. Illiquid definite articles can be phonetically absorbed by the following noun. I.e:l'arancini (liquid) andârancini (illiquid). From the lenition ofli , from the conflation of the apheresis ofLatin illī andillae , both nominative plurals ofille .

( obsolete ) and Synonyms: in ,ino ,no ,ter ,pa Use ofi as a conjunction in Slovene is obsolete and not well-known, so most nowadays speakers usually relate it with other Slavic languages rather than with old Slovene. Nowadays, its derivative,in is used, which is etymologically speaking a stressed variant, but has since lost the initial difference.
As opposed toin ,i can be pronounced as stressed or unstressed form in all contexts (but if taken out of context, only the stressed version is allowed) whereasin is stressed only if taken out of context.

Rwy'n myndi weld y meddyg. ―I'm goingto see the surgery. Rwy'n myndat y meddyg. ―I'm goingto the doctor. Seeo for a similar distinction for "from". The literary language distinguishes between unemphatic personal forms and personal forms with emphasis on the pronoun.Rhaidinni fynd. ―We must go. (no particular emphasis)Rhaidi ni fynd. ―We must go. (emphasis onwe ) In less formal language, this distinction is not made in writing.Rhaidi ni fynd. ―We must go. (no particular emphasis) Used as apreterite tense form of ‘that’.
