Archaic case & gender

Anglish once kept words by three ;, , and , and by five ; nominative, accusative, dative, genitive and instrumental.

Behold   that 'the' took in Old English:

following shows what this might look like if these  and  lived on in today's Anglish. Keep in mind, this is only a thought, and not Anglish.


 * The s in se and seo became th by
 * Thee would likely become unstressed and blend with 'the', 'thee' is a more take of the word.

An, Less 

The above is a truly   of this thought, far  than any  of today. and are more held back than most of the tungs of, yet even they wouldn't go so far as to hold an instrumental. , I would call the above board the most held back that the tung could be, and in my eyes, it doesn't fit the  even for this. Let us for an delve into a less held back take of this held back. I am of the mind that do not fit with today's English, however, I have another thought for how Anglish could show these.

My first thought was to look into Middle English, but it seems that sorely early on did this. Chaucer's English had naught but one take of 'the', to our speech. So instead, let's see how, which were more held back, handled these.

Unluckily English lost final schwa and -en (barring oxen and children mind you, also some byleids have eyen (for eyes), shoon (for shoes), hosen (for hose(s)), kine (for cows), and been (for bees)) making the above board much less clear in meaning, think on "teachers teacher's teachers'" and how none of those words are, yet they mean asunder things, and are  in asunder steads. While I think it would be to bring back -en forsooth, nothing can be done about schwa final. But what if 'the' followed the above ?

Bid see that ye needn't bother with weak thingwords unless ye like 'shoon', 'kine', 'been', and so forth. Some, mayhaps, might go so far as to all thear weak thingword.

For, was weak in OE. "The Germanic languages" becomes "Thoe northedish tungen".

See that 'thear' (said the same way as there, their, and they're, eking a fourth one to that mess) takes an, and that the horrid ' in apple's is forsaken, made clear by the article. It should also be that 'thas' & 'thear' overset 'of the'.

For :


 * "The knights of the round table" > "Thoe knights thas sinowwealt board"
 * "That is the master's hat" > "That is thas masters hat."
 * "The blackbird's feathers" > "Thas blackbirds feathers" -or- "Thoe feathers thas blackbirds"
 * "The black birds' feathers" > "Thear black bird feathers" -or- "Thoe feathers thear black bird"
 * "The bee's knees" > "Thear been knees" -or- "Thoe knees thear been"
 * "I pull the cow's utters" > "I pull thas kine utters" -or- "I pull thoe utters thas kine"
