form of speech is used to signify a fruitful tree. In Hebrew the latter of two substantives is frequently adopted instead of an adjective; as The land of holiness, for The holy land; Men of a name, for Celebrated men; A God of justice, for A just God, &c.

*This word affords some evidence of the truth of the concession in the Glasgow grammar, that "the cases of nouns are more determined by the connexion and sense of the passage than from the preposition." But in Hebrew there are no cases. Vide rule 14. When two nouns stand together, so that the latter would occupy the genitive case in English, Latin, or Greek; the former in Hebrew frequently undergoes a change in termination, it being in fact the word, the sense of which is limited or restricted. Vide rules 24. 27. Prepositions prefixed to nouns answer the purposes of oblique cases, with the exception of the constructed case mentioned. With respect also to the primitive pronouns, the agent and the object are usually expressed by different words, as in English, which may be denominated cases.

Nevertheless the learner will find it to contribute both to his convenience and speed, to know the cases of nouns and pronouns, as they are given in the old grammars. On this account, they are here subjoined in a condensed form.

As parts of the primitive pronouns, both singular and plural, are postfixed to nouns, masculine and feminine, singular and plural; (vide rules 33-42) and as their terminations undergo, in some instances, changes in regimen, (vide rules 24-27) because of the suffixes; the learner, by making also the following table somewhat familiar, will save himself both time and labour.

* Parts of primitive pronouns, when suffixed to nouns substantive, having the sense of possessives, and the nature of adjectives, must, when translated into Latin or Greek, agree with such substantives in gender, number, and case. But the Hebrew language, in such instances, with much more propriety, preserves the gender of the antecedent, to which such pronoun may relate, and does not accommodate the gender of the possessive to that of the noun with which it stands. Thus in' and ' are each sua domus, but the former is his house, and the latter her house. Hence it seems proper to denominate the pronominal suffixes primitives, when affixed to nouns, as well as when conjoined with finite verbs, and particles, though with the former, they have the sense of possessives, and when with the latter, they generally denote the object. Vide rule 29.

†The neuter in English is often properly substituted, because the Hebrew language has no neuter. Here follow the usual pronominal suffixes with . 13 in him, 13 in her, in thee, in me, or an in them, masc. ¡n in them, fem. D in you, masc. ¡ɔ in you, fem. and 13 in us. is also into, with, on account of, and among; in this sense, following an adjective, it expresses the superlative degree, as Dvi non fair among women, that is, very fair.
