Grammatical Précis 157<br />

7.3.4.2 d as a relative pr<strong>on</strong>oun, i.e., “the <strong>on</strong>e who.”<br />

Assuming that that d was declinable, it should take the same case<br />

ending as the governing noun, e.g., rb.hrsûm/d.sûsa /rabbu harraœsûˆäma<br />

duœ sûo®sa}a/, “the chief of the craftsmen who (nom. sing.) produced.”<br />

Words following the determinative pr<strong>on</strong>oun are declined in the<br />

genitive case. However, it seems quite unlikely that the relative<br />

pr<strong>on</strong>oun was actually declinable.<br />

7.3.5 Deictic Pr<strong>on</strong>ouns (or, Near <strong>and</strong> Distant Dem<strong>on</strong>strative<br />

Pr<strong>on</strong>ouns)<br />

hnd =/haœnaœduœ, hannaduœ ?/, “this.” The near dem<strong>on</strong>strative derives<br />

from the deictic elements hn <strong>and</strong> d. Itisnot declinable for case,<br />

gender, or number; however, there is <strong>on</strong>e apparent excepti<strong>on</strong> in<br />

KTU 2.38, hndt.bsr, “this (ship) is in Tyre,” which seems to be<br />

declined as a feminine. If this is the combinati<strong>on</strong> of hn + relative d,<br />

then it may have been declined like the relative pr<strong>on</strong>oun discussed<br />

above. hnd always follows the noun it modifies, sometimes<br />

occurring after a complex phrase: e.g., spr.mlk.hnd, “this royal<br />

document”; alpm.sìsìwm.hnd, “these two thous<strong>and</strong> horses.”<br />

hnk =/haœnaœka?/, “that;” fem. hnkt /haœnaœkat- ?/. The distant<br />

dem<strong>on</strong>strative appears <strong>on</strong>ly a few times in difficult c<strong>on</strong>texts (e.g.,<br />

KTU 2.33:23–24; 2.46:12–14).<br />

7.3.6 Interrogative Pr<strong>on</strong>ouns<br />

Examples of interrogative pr<strong>on</strong>ouns include the following:<br />

my /mˆäyu, -i, -a/, “who(m)?”<br />

mh /mahu, -i, -a/, “what?”<br />

mn /mann-, or mˆän- ?/, “which?”<br />

7.3.7 Indefinite Pr<strong>on</strong>ouns<br />

Examples of indefinite pr<strong>on</strong>ouns include the following:<br />

mnk /mˆänuku?/, “whatever; whoever, any<strong>on</strong>e; whichever”<br />

mnkm /mˆänukumu?/, “whatever; whoever, any<strong>on</strong>e; whichever”<br />

mnm /mˆänuma?/, “whatever; whoever, any<strong>on</strong>e; whichever”<br />

kl /kull-/, “all, every”<br />

klkl /kulkullu/, “every, all”
