          Although we preserve the rule of the ancient Greeks in writing the two charac­ters in those conso­nants, we have, however, formed one character – f instead of p with lenition – in Latin words.

      Usage notes

      edit

      When used attributively, sen may precede the noun it modifies, in which case it is uninflected and triggers lenition on the noun.

        Usage notes

        edit

        In majority of attestations, when the preposition sen is used with nouns and its determinants, the determinant is in dative case and the nouns are in accusative case.

        Examples:

        sen stesmu wirdan (“with the word”) ⇒ sen + stesmu (dative) + wirdan (accusative);
        sen wissamans grīkans (“with all sins”) ⇒ sen + wissamans (dative pl.) + grīkans (accusative pl.);
        sen stesma Swintan Scrīsin (“with the Holy Cross”) ⇒ sen + stesma (dative) + Swintan (accusative) + Scrīsin (accusative).[2]

              edit

              Possibly from French jeune servante (“young maidservant”). Attested since 19th century.[1] The second sense is from a humorous perception that owners of cats and dogs are servants to their pets.[2]
