NB When the word вљко functions as a subject and does not have a descriptive modifier, the construction вљко у + Genitive is often preferred to (a) and (b), above: | |
Вљки у дљвочки бІли воспаленІ. | The girl's eyelids were inflamed. |
вљрхние/нќжние вљки | the upper/lower eyelids |
Вљрхние вљки у дљвочки бІли воспаленІ. | The girl's upper eyelids were inflamed. |
NB Note that, unlike many other body parts that come in pairs, вљко cannot be modified by the adjectives лљвое and прђвое: | |
вљки лљвого глђза | the left eyelids (upper and lower) |
вљки на лљвом глазџ | the (upper and lower) lids on the left eye |
вљрхнее/нќжнее вљко на лљвом/ прђвом глазџ | the upper/lower lid of the left/right eye |
