The Northeadish system of correlatives is similar to those in most other Germanic languages, though by analogy, it has become much more extensive than the others. The correlatives based on H, Þ, and Ƕ are easily recognizible in Germanic, being descended fairly directly from Indo-European K, T, and Kʷ, indicating a proximal, a medial, and an interrogative form. İ is also somewhat recognizable, though this distal form is not as widespread in Germanic languages as the others. N for negative is also fairly common, though normally not in these particular forms. Finally, the somewhat more elusive Q form for the relative is likely derived from the fortition of Ƕ in relative cluases. | The Northeadish system of correlatives is similar to those in most other Germanic languages, though by analogy, it has become much more extensive than the others.

The Northeadish system of correlatives is similar to those in most other Germanic languages, though by analogy, it has become much more extensive than the others. The correlatives based on H, Þ, and Ƕ are easily recognizible in Germanic, being descended fairly directly from Indo-European K, T, and Kʷ, indicating a proximal, a medial, and an interrogative form. İ is also somewhat recognizable, though this distal form is not as widespread in Germanic languages as the others. N for negative is also fairly common, though normally not in these particular forms. Finally, the somewhat more elusive Q form for the relative is likely derived from the fortition of Ƕ in relative cluases.
| H | Þ | İ | Ƕ | Q | N | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| proximal | medial | distal | interrogative | relative | negative | |
| Place | har here | þar there | iar yonder | ƕar where | qar where | nar nowhere |
| Goal | haðra hither | þaðra thither | iaðra yonder | ƕaðra whither | qaðra whither | naðra to nowhere |
| Source | harɴ hence | þarɴ thence | iarɴ from yonder | ƕarɴ whence | qarɴ whence | narɴ from nowhere |
| Time | han now | þan then | ian then (a long time) | ƕan when | qan when | nan never |
| Thing | hat this | þat that | iat yon | ƕat what | qat what | nat nothing |
| Reason | hī herefore | þī therefore | iī yonderfore | ƕī why | qī why | nī for no reason |
| Manner | hū like this | þū - | iū some other way | ƕū how | qū how | nū no way |
| Abstraction | het it | þet that | iet yet | ƕet - | qet - | net not |
- þū has the meaning of the second person singular pronoun and is not used in this manner.
- There are also a collection of personal pronouns which do not strictly adhere to this system, but make up the basis of "who" in the various cases.
