Usage notes

The marginal glosses known as the Gotica Veronensia (in the Latin-language manuscript Verona, Biblioteca Capitolare LI (49) containing Arian Christian texts) attest a usage with the nominative, likely an error: bi hōrōs jah motārjōs. (Elsewhere in those same glosses it is used with the accusative.)
