Note also the adverbial expression ‘in _none_ wise,’ cp. ‘_othre_ wise.’ In cases of the combination of a French adjective with a feminine substantive of the same origin the adjective occasionally takes the French feminine form. Instances are as follows: ‘_devolte_ apparantie,’ i. 636, ‘_veine_ gloire,’ i. 2677 ff., ‘vertu _sovereine_,’ ii. 3507, ‘_seinte_ charite,’ iv. 964, ‘herbe _sovereine_,’ vii. 1392, ‘joie _sovereine_,’ viii. 2530, and even as predicate, ‘Dame Avarice is noght _soleine_,’ v. 1971. Possibly also, ‘O thou _divine_ pourveance,’ ii. 3243, ‘the _parfite_ medicine,’ iv. 2624, ‘a _gentile_ ... on,’ v. 2713, and ‘O thou _gentile_ Venus,’ viii. 2294, may be examples of the same usage. There is one instance of the French plural adjective in _-s_, Prol. 738, evidently introduced for the sake of the rhyme. (3) PRONOUNS. The personal pronoun of the first person is regularly _I_, not _ich_. It is usually written _y_ by the copyist of the last 235 lines of the Fairfax MS. and in the _Praise of Peace_. The third person sing. fem. is _sche_ (never written _she_), once _scheo_: the oblique case is _hire_, _hir_ (never _here_), and _hire_, though usually equivalent to a monosyllable, sometimes has _-e_ fully sounded, as i. 367, iv. 766, v. 1178. The third person neuter is _it_, seldom _hit_. In the first person plural the oblique case is _ous_, not shortened to _us_ in spelling. The possessives of the first and second persons sing., _min_, _thin_, have no plural inflexion, but the disjunctive form _thyne_ pl. occurs, i. 168. On the other hand _his_, originally an uninflected form, has usually the plural _hise_, but sometimes _his_. The form _hise_ is never a dissyllable. The feminine possessive, 3rd pers., is _hire_ or _hir_, freely interchanged and metrically equivalent. There is no question of a plural inflexion here, and we find ‘_Hire_ Nase,’ ‘_hire_ browes,’ ‘_hir_ lockes,’ ‘_Hire_ Necke,’ quite indifferently used, i. 1678 ff. The disjunctive is _hire_, v. 6581, and _hires_, v. 6857. The forms _oure_, _ȝoure_ are usual for the possessives of the 1st and 2nd pers. plur., and these are commonly used as monosyllables, e.g. i. 2062, 2768, and interchanged with _our_, _ȝour_; but they are also capable of being reckoned as dissyllables, e.g. Prol. 5, iii. 1087. Here again there is no plural inflexion (‘_ȝour_ wordes,’ iii. 627). The disjunctive _ȝoures_ occurs in i. 1852. The possessive of the 3rd pers. plur. is _here_, _her_, which is practically never confused in good MSS. with _hire_, _hir_ of the fem. sing.[X] We are fully justified in assuming that for Gower the distinction was absolute.
