58 A GRAMMAR OF THE
A personal pronoun in the singular number Mas. gender, in the sense
of each one, every one, is sometimes used; as,
എല്ലാവനും അവനവന്റെ സ്വന്ത കാൎയ്യങ്ങൾ നൊക്കെ
ണം.
Each one must look to his own affairs.
The above forms are used absolutely in all their cases; thus,
എല്ലാവരും വന്നു, All (persons) came.
അവൻ എല്ലാം കൊണ്ടുവന്നു, he brought all.
എല്ലാവരും is affixed to nouns with which it agrees: and both the
noun and affix ought to be declined in the case required; as,
നിങ്ങൾ എല്ലാവരും വരെണം.
You must all come.
ദൈവത്തിന്റെ കൃപ നിങ്ങളൊട എല്ലാവരൊടും കൂടെ
ഇരിക്കട്ടെ.
May the mercy of God rest upon you all.
When this word is used as an adjective, the last letter of the neuter
nominative is dropped, and the remainder of the word is prefixed to nouns,
and governed like all other adjectives; as,
എല്ലാ മനുഷ്യരും, All men. എല്ലാ കാൎയ്യങ്ങളും, All things.
79. Many words of this class are formed by the numeral ഒന്ന,
which in composition is ഒരു, and the personal pronouns അവൻ, and
അവർ, as ഒരുവൻ: but this form is seldom used, and that for the
Mas. gender only.
Instead of which they add ത്തൻ and ത്തി to ഒരു for the masculine
and feminine and use ഒന്ന for the neuter; as,
| Mas. | Fem. | Neuter. |
|---|---|---|
| ഒരുത്തൻ, | ഒരുത്തി, | ഒന്ന, one. |
80. Our words each, or one by one, are formed by doubling ഒരു, which
is written ഒരൊരു; and adding the above pronominal termination; as,
| Mas. | Fem. | Neuter. |
|---|---|---|
| ഒരൊരുത്തൻ, | ഒരൊരുത്തി, | ഒരൊന്ന, Each, one by one. |
81. Our words whoever and whatever are formed by the help of ഒരു
ത്തൻ: and the Sanscrit word യഃ, which becomes in Malayalim യാ
വനൊരുത്തൻ.
