DICTIONARY OF REVIVED PRUSSIAN:

‘and what more he has done against God’s commandments and his own position’, bhe
ickai ainonts çnstan turîlai preiwaitiat vs. Vnd hat jemands darein zu sprechen III
‘And if somebody has [anything] to say on this issue’, en tîrtian deinan etskîuns esse
gallan vs. am dritten Tage wider Aufferstanden von den Todten III ‘on the third day
resurrected from death’, preilîginton stans geîwans bhe Aulausins vs. zu Richten die
Lebendigen vnnd die Todten III ‘to judge those living and deceased’, stesmu polîgu
vs. Deßgleichen III ‘similarly to that’, etc.
It is really doubtful, whether the translation of the German reflexive pronouns
of the 1 st and 2 nd persons with the Prussian personal pronouns of the 1 st and 2 nd persons
was anything more than a slavish following of the original: turei toû tien Siggnat vs.
soltu dich segnen III ‘you must cross yourself’.
As for putting the verb at the end of the complex sentence (cf. ka twai` Seilisku
d`st ‘was dein andacht gibt, what your piety gives [to you]’ III), this might have been
a tendency in the speech of the “enlightened” Prussians (those who spoke German
and translated from German). The same may be said about constructions with the
translated German particle ‘zu’ before the infinitive form: preilîginton ‘to judge’ (cf.
no less exotic passive reflexive constructions of Russian origin in colloquial
Lithuanian).
Beside such clear barbarisms, there existed facts of internal Prussian
development whose direction had been prompted by the influence of German.
Typical is the use of the arthroid stas corresponding to German article der. The
arthroid was used to specify coinciding case forms acc. sg., gen. pl. -an, -un in the
language of the Catechisms (not in Pomezanian!) because the corresponding forms
of the arthroid were different, cf. prei etwerpsennien stçison grijkan ‘zur vergebunge
der Sünden’ III ‘for the forgiveness of sins’. It was impossible to understand phrases
of this sort without the clarifying arthroid (whether the forgiveness of sins or the sin
of forgivenesses was intended).
In Pomezanian, stressed endings of the genitive plural of oxytone nouns were
preserved in all probability; therefore, no total coincidence of the forms acc. sg., gen.
pl. -an, -un took place and the use of the arthroid was unnecessity. Unfortunately,
New Prussian is based on the Samlandian of the Catechisms.
