have it, chdi is restricted to contexts where the first-person pronoun would be mi (fi), not i. So: "rhoist ti'r car i FI", therefore "rhois i'r car i CHDI"; but, because it's "rhois I'r car i chdi", not *"rhoist CHDI'r car i fi". How far does that get it right? (To put it another way, I think "chdi" is basically a real ('independent') pronoun, not one of those optional 'affixed' forms. So whenever you could leave the pronoun out altogether, you can't use chdi.) ************************ Nigel Love Linguistics Cape Town NLOVE@BEATTIE.UCT.AC.ZA ************************
