使用する際の注意点

• When saying that something is like (i.e. similar or alike to) something else, the thing that it is being compared to is put in the dative case, and usually precedes the word ġelīċ: Iċ neom nāteshwōn mīnum ġesweostrum ġelīċ ("I am not at all like my sisters"). However, when two or more things are said to be alike to each other (i.e. with equal weight given to each thing being compared), the nominative case is used for each: Sē wer and his frēond wǣron geliċe ("The man and his friend were alike").
