Some of the prepositions are put with the pronoun of the 3rd person masc. in a contracted form. This is constantly found in Old Slavonic, and, of the modern languages, in Polish and Čech. The accusative is used in Čech mostly after the following prepositions: pro, na, o, ve, za; more rarely after přes, skrz, nad, pod, před; thus: pron, concerning him, on his account; nan, on him ; oh, concerning him ; veh, in him; zah, behind him: přeseři, over him; skrzeh, through him; nadeh, upon him; podeh, under him; předen, before him. Cf. the Polish dlaň zen, &c.
