Excerpt from The Syntax of at and Ana in Gothic, Old Saxon, and Old High German: A DissertationIn Old High German there are twenty-three cases of azs compounded with a verb or otherwise used as an adverb. In twenty-two cases it translates a Latin verb compounded with ad, in one case a compound with in. Thus it is evident that the German felta correspondence of ad and ass, and that it was used thus early as an adverb only in forced literal translations in such literature as has been transmitted to us. It is compounded only once with a noun, never with an adjective.AS a preposition it governs a dative, accusative, or instrumental case. It occurs as a preposition, eliminating repetitions in various manuscripts of the same document, sixty-one times, counting twice Slight variations of the same expression in the accusative in two manu scripts of the same passage.Of these, thirty-one are in the dative case, twenty-nine in the accusa tive, and one in the instrumental. Of the thirty-one datives thirteen are with superlative adjectives, expressing such ideas as the first, the last, etc., five with the meaning at the right, at the left.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
