This party putsitself on the standpoint of federalism.

In other reflexive cases, the reflexively marked pronounhimsels is used.

The clitic former is used before theobject of the sentence or after theverb, if there is one. It is never the first word of a sentence.

Doe'ter in swolch naam

Whenhe took a swallow

Especially innarrative,er is used in thepast tense.
