All is used with of, like a partitive; as, all of a thing, all of us.

It is not a predicate adjective, but a partitive genitive after hwæt.

The partitive article is used precisely as in French.

I deny that of is here the sign of the possessive, and affirm that it is taken partitively, in all examples of this sort.

These three parts are: first, nouns—the names of things; second, verbs—the names of events; and, third, the partitives—or the words which express the relations of things to events.
