On Föhr and Amrum, frr 'm is added to an imperative to make it plural, e.g. frr kem kom come! singular, frr kom'm come! plural. This usage is not common in Mooring, the simple form being used for both numbers (as in English).

The pronoun occurs after certain vowel-final preverbal particles, such as cy fe, cy a, cy ni, cy na, cy oni and cy pe.
