            Usage notes
            [edit]
            • The article form at can be used with all feminine and neuter nouns. However, some original feminines may still take the older form a (otherwise now restricted to masculines). This group of feminines consists of a limited number of everyday words, including (but not restricted to) those for relatives, body parts and items of clothing. The article a is used with these especially when the sense is either possessive or generic (i.e. referring to a thing as such without regard to any particular item). For example: Hi hee a hun breegen. (“He broke the [i.e. his] hand.”) At wiar so stal üüs uun a sark. (“It was so silent as at the [i.e. any] church.”)

            While the feminine gender has generally been merged into the neuter, a certain number of traditionally feminine nouns still alternatively take the reduced definite article a alongside at.
            The form 't is enclitic and occurs only after prepositions.

            • The reduced forms with an apostrophe are enclitic; they immediately follow verbs or conjunctions. Dü is deleted altogether in such contexts.
            • At is not enclitic; it can stand in any unstressed position and refers mostly to things. In reflexive use, only full object forms occur.
            • Dual forms wat / onk and jat / jonk are obsolete, as is feminine jü / hör.
            • Independent possessives are distinguished from attributive ones only with plural referents.
            • The forms üsens, jamens, hörens are used optionally (and decreasingly) when the possessor is a larger community, such as a village, city or nation.

            Etymology 3

            [edit]

            From Old Frisian *jit, from Proto-West Germanic *jit (“you two”). Regarding the Sylt Frisian forms at (“the two of you”) versus jat (“the two of them”), it is clear that jat became at some point associated with ja, jam, jaar (“they, them, their”). For a while jat must have had both senses, which was facilitated by the general overlap between second-person and third-person plural forms in North Frisian; compare jam, which means “them” on Sylt, “you [plural]” on Föhr and Amrum, and both of these in Mooring Frisian. The form at may have been originally an enclitic byform of jat, or may have been backformed later to reintroduce a distinction between second and third person.

            • The reduced forms with an apostrophe are enclitic; they immediately follow verbs or conjunctions. Dü is deleted altogether in such contexts.
            • Et is not enclitic and can stand in any unstressed position; the full subject form hat is now rarely used. In reflexive use, only full object forms occur.
            • The dual forms are dated, but not obsolete as in other dialects.
            • Independent possessives are distinguished from attributive ones only with plural referents.

                [The] Scots dialects of the Black Isle, a promontory to the north of Inverness, were largely confined to two villages, Cromarty and Avoch, which are not fully connected to the North- East Scots- speaking regions to the east of Inverness […] The Black Isle dialects (North Northern B) shared much with their Caithness equivalents. With one feature, however, they stood alone, not only in the North or even Scotland, but in the English-speaking world. […] the <wh> words were not replaced by /f/, as is the case with the other Northern dialects, but by nothing. The Scots equivalent to English what, which is fit or fat in the rest of the Scots-speaking North, was at in Cromarty and Avoch. […] a good case could be made for the last speaker of archetypically 'Black Isle Scots' dying in 2012.
