H4 GRAMMAR Lias, many, is used, like a numeral, with a substan- tive in the singular : lias ddrn, many hands. Re, some (see 5), " ones," " things," is used also as a noun : an re marow, the dead ; an re bfan, the little ones ; ma re a lavar, there are some who say. Cf. Welsh rhai ; Breton re. Radn or ran, part, is also used in the sense of " some." Honan, self, is used with possessive pronouns as in English : ow honan, myself ; dha honan, thyself, &c.
