note: in the course of time, the nature of the neuter sign i in it, the form being found in but a few words, became misunderstood. instead of being looked upon as an affix, it passed for part of the original word. hence was formed from it the anomalous genitive it, superseding the saxon his. the fruit tree yielding fruit after his (its) kind. i. 11. it is used,
1. as a substance for any noun of the neuter gender; as, here is the book, take it home.
