Similarly, here {{sc|def}} is used to single out the ''lárnur'' ‘evening’ given as the hodiernal one. Again, ''terg'' is elided and attaches to ''dua''. | Similarly, here {{sc|def}} is used to single out the ''lárnur'' ‘evening’ given as the hodiernal one.

The third example marked differs from the previous two. Here, instead of a bare noun, {{sc|def}} is associated with a possessive construction, and its presence is due to grammatical obligation rather than semantic nuance. Unlike in Liturgical Olgish, where pronouns functioning as possessors attach to the left of their possession, forming the equivalent of a right-headed possessive compound (so ''terg de-túnor'' ‘({{sc|def}}) your protection’), by the Middle Olgish period, possessively functioning pronouns attach to the right of the possessed noun; as in Liturgical Olgish, although the construction is (semantically) inherently definite, it is obligatorily preceded by the definite article. Uniquely in the text above, this instance of ''terg'' is not elided but realized in full. | The third example marked differs from the previous two.
