Mr. Browning, but pray defer to Herr Buttmann, whose fifth list of 'enclitics' ends with the inseparable De, '-- or to Curtius, whose fifth list ends also with De (meaning ❋ Robert Browning (1850)
The ending -lor is an encliticized form of Latin illorum, making Romanian a language that declines its enclitics too. ❋ Unknown (2007)
I looked towards Swedish and its demonstrative enclitics. ❋ Unknown (2007)
The Queen of England's language also seems to permit enclitics on entire noun phrases. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Swedish demonstrative enclitics then were more appropriate to the discussion of Etruscan's demonstrative enclitics, not English's "genitive pseudoenclitic". ❋ Unknown (2007)
However, I'm not even sure that Swedes use definite enclitics in this complex way either. ❋ Unknown (2007)
You're saying that screwy phrases with complex combinations of declension and postposed enclitics like tleche Hanipalus-cle or hetrn acl-tn exist somehow in English? ❋ Unknown (2007)
I need a stronger parallel, something with declined demonstrative enclitics. ❋ Unknown (2007)
If one is not prepared I believe that Etruscan enclitics can severely damage the would-be paleoglot's brain. ❋ Unknown (2007)
It is observed too often, that men of wit do so much employ their thoughts upon fine speculations, that things useful to mankind are wholly neglected; and they are busy in making emendations upon some enclitics in a Greek author, while obvious things, that every man may have use for, are wholly overlooked. ❋ George A. Aitken (N/A)
When the enclitics - que, - ne, - ve, - ce, - met, - dum are appended to words, if the syllable preceding the enclitic is long (either originally or as a result of adding the enclitic) it is accented; as, miserō´que, hominísque. ❋ Charles E. Bennett (N/A)
No, not to Mr. Browning: but pray defer to Herr Buttmann, whose fifth list of ` enclitics 'ends ` with the inseparable De' -- or to Curtius, whose fifth list ends also with ` De (meaning ` towards 'and as a demonstrative appendage)'. ❋ Hiram Corson (1869)
But autem does not seem to be one of these enclitics - it's not a monosyllable, for one thing; it's not written solid with the preceding word; and it's apparently derived from the combination of a connective (which can occur in initial position) with a demonstrative. ❋ Unknown (2009)
