at

jat (alternative Föhr-Amrum Mooring obsolete)

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.
