in other cases it is rare in Mn. W.: arnaddynt Neh. ix I. The adv. form occurs in oddi danawdd D.G. 306, oddi arnodd and oddi tanodd Job xviii 16; danodd ‘underneath’ is common in Late Mn. W. and the dialects. No other prep. of the 1st conj. has an adv. form.—Ml. 1st pl. in ‑ann: amdanan(n), attann r.p. 1176, arnan(n) do. 1177, atann w. 1216, o honan ni c.m. 13.

(2) Forms of ar: arnaf w.m. 2, arnat ib., arnaw ib., arnei do. 9, erni b.b. 43, arnam w.m. 29, arnawch ib., arnaẟut (‑t‑ẟ) m.a. i 258, arnaẟunt w.m. 470, s.g. 89, arnu m.a. i 403, arnun do. 223, arnunt w.m. 11, 39.

iii. at ‘to’ (i.e. motion ‘to’) is similar (but without 3rd sg. f. ‑i in Ml. W.):

attaf w.m. 10, attat r.p. 1357, attaw w.m. 2, attei do. 6, attam do. 441, attunt do. 39, attaẟunt p 21/29; 2nd pl. ‑och in attoch s.g. 52.

iv. Mn. W. o dan, dan, tan ‘under’, Early Mn. dan § 51 vi, cf. D.G. 373; Ml. W. a dan, y dan, dan, O. W. guotan, gutan ox.

adan, ydan, dan w.m. 91, r.m. 66, dan w.m. 1, 463; adanaw do. 94, ydanaw r.m. 68, ydanam do. 165, adanunt w.m. 67.

v. am ‘around, about, concerning’; stem amdan‑, ymdan‑, Mn. amdán‑. After gwiscaw the stem is generally used in Ml. W. instead of the simple form; thus, instead of gwiscaw ymdanaw ac am ẏ varch w.m. 165, the usual phrase is gwiscaw ymdanaw ac ymdan ẏ varch do. 162 ‘to accoutre himself and his horse’; so w.m. 147, r.m. 217, 229, 231; amdan W.M. 99. This form is still in use in the spoken lang., pronounced amdắn.

amdanaf w.m. 21, amdanat ib., amdanaw do. 2, amdanei do. 5, 13, 15, ymdeni r.m. 120, im-deni b.b. 43−4, ymdanaẟuẟ m.a. i 197, amdanaẟunt Ỻ.A. 40, amdanunt s.g. 43, ymdanunt do. 84; O.W. amtanndi b.s.ch. 2.

The compound yam has two meanings, 1. ‘besides, in addition to’ w.m. 469.—2. = Mn. W. oddiam ‘from about, off’: yamdanaw w.m. 5, 24.

vi. o ‘from, of,’ Ml. W. o (oc in oc eu, see vii (5)); stem ohon‑, ohan‑, Mn. W. ohón‑. The forms of the 1st and 2nd pers. fluctuate between this and the 2nd conjugation, and the 2nd sg. has the ending ‑awt not added to any other prep. In Mn. lit. W. ‑of, ‑ot are used exclusively (but dial. ‑a(f), ‑at). The 3rd sg. and pl. have 1st conj. forms only; 3rd pl. onaẟunt.
