Usage notes

  • Grammar books for Pannonian Rusyn suggest the plural form to be Сабадошове (Sabadošove),[1] using the same plural ending as in nouns like краль (kralʹ), with regular plural masculine animate noun oblique forms as in other West Slavic languages such as in Czech or Polish (compare e.g. Czech and Polish Nagy, plural Czech Nagyové, Nagyů and Polish Nagyowie, Nagyów). In practice, the adjectival Сабадошово (Sabadošovo) (as if appended with the relative suffix -ов (-ov) and pluralized), with likewise adjectival oblique forms is far more common; the non-adjectival form Сабадошох (Sabadošox) was only found in a text dated 1930, and Сабадошове (Sabadošove) is practically unattested outside of grammar books. Likewise, Надь (Nadʹ) has a nominative plural Надьово (Nadʹovo) and genitive/locative plural Надьових (Nadʹovix), whereas *Надьове (*Nadʹove) and *Надьох (*Nadʹox) are unattested. This may have initially arisen as a form of harmonization with the plural of the feminine equivalent, which always employs an adjectival declension (as in Czech and Slovak).
