To these may be added, 1. the adverb _why_, originally the ablative form _hvi_ (_quo modo?_ _quâ viâ?_). 2. The adverb _where_, a feminine dative, like _there_. 3. _When_, a masculine accusative (in Anglo-Saxon _hwæne_), and analogous to _then_. The two sounds in the Danish words _hvi_, _hvad_, &c., and the two sounds in the English, _what_, _when_ (Anglo-Saxon, _hwæt_, _hwæne_) account for the forms _why_ and _how_. In the first the w alone, in the second the h alone, is sounded. The Danish for _why_ is _hvi_, pronounced _vi_. § 235. The following remarks (some of them not strictly etymological) apply to a few of the remaining pronouns. _Same_.--Wanting in Anglo-Saxon, where it was replaced by the word _ylca_, _ylce_. Probably derived from the Norse. _Self_.--In _myself_, _thyself_, _herself_, _ourselves_, _yourselves_, a substantive (or with a substantival power), and preceded by a genitive case. In _himself_ and _themselves_ an adjective (or with an adjectival power), and preceded by an accusative case. _Itself_ is equivocal, since we cannot say whether its elements are _it_ and _self_, or _its_ and _self_; the s having been dropped in utterance. It is very evident that either the form like _himself_, or the form like _thyself_, is exceptionable; in other words, that the use of the word is inconsistent. As this inconsistency is as old as the Anglo-Saxons, the history of the word gives us no elucidation. In favour of the forms like _myself_ (_self_ being a substantive), are the following facts:-- 1. The plural word _selves_, a substantival, and not an adjectival form. 2. The Middle High German phrases _mîn lîp_, _dîn lîp_, _my body_, _thy body_, equivalent in sense to _myself_, _thyself_. 3. The circumstance that if _self_ be dealt with as a substantive, such phrases as _my own self_, _his own great self_, &c., can be used; whereby the language is a gainer. "Vox _self_, pluraliter _selves_, quamvis etiam pronomen a quibusdam censeatur (quoniam ut plurimum per Latinum _ipse_ redditur), est tamen plane nomen substantivum, cui quidem vix aliquod apud Latinos substantivum respondet; proxime tamen accedet vox _persona_ vel _propria persona_ ut _my self_, _thy self_, _our selves_, _your selves_, &c. (_ego ipse_, _tu ipse_, _nos ipsi_, _vos ipsi_, &c.), ad verbum _mea persona_, _tua persona_, &c. Fateor tamen _himself_, _itself_, _themselves_, vulgo dici pro _his-self_, _its-self_, _theirselves_; at (interposito _own_) _his own self_, &c., _ipsius propria persona_, &c."--Wallis. c. vii. 4. The fact that many persons actually say _hisself_ and _theirselves_. _Whit_.--As in the phrase _not a whit_. This enters in the compound pronouns _aught_ and _naught_.
