But dali is sometimes found in the Dat. (f. i. Harbarðsl. 18)
even in the Plur. Herdalar (Hk. 2, 8) likewise in the Swedish;
brúðr has in the Plural brúðir.
60. Some words resemble the third declension as they ter-
minate in the Sing. Gen. in ar, otherwise they are declined like
brandr, dreingr or dalr. To the former belong: hattr,
kraptr (kraftr) grautr, skógr, vindr in the language of
the old bards vegr. To the latter belong: belgr, mergr,
leggr, hryggr, verkr, reykr, lækr, drykkr and boer,
therefore: boejar, boejum, boeja with inserted j, which is
strictly observed by all good ancient authors; of the latter kind
are mostly found: staðr, sauðr, bragr, vegf (sometimes
in the Acc. vegu), rèttr, vinr (or vin) hugr, hlutr,
munr (difference) and all those ending in -naðr (-nuðr) and
-skapr, which occur however rarely in the plural.
61. The neuter terminating in -i, and the masc. terminat-
ing in -ir, drop the i before the terminations: -um, -ar, -a,
except those having g or k before them, these change i into j.
The feminine ending in a pure i remains unchanged in
Sing, but takes ir in the Plural:
Sing. Nom. kvjæði merki læknir æfi
Ace. Dat. kvæði merki lækni æfi
Gen. kvæðis merkis læknis æfi
flnr. Nom. kvæði merki lækn-ar æfir
Ace. kvæði merki lækn-a æfir
Dat. kvæð-um merkjum lækn-um æf-um
Gen. kvæð-a; merkja; lækn-a; æf-a.
Eyrir (Danish: en Øre) an ear, forms the plural in
aurar
aura
aurum | but eyri a low beach, has in the
aura | Gen. Plural eyrar.
helgi, holiness, holiday, Sunday, forms Gen. Plur. helgar.
62. Others again from all three genders have many irre-
gularities. Thus the neuter læti, sound, forms Dat. Plur. lá-
tum, Gen. 1 At a. Some neuters become feminine in the Plural, as:
Singular: Plural:
lim , brushwood limar , branches,
tál, fraud tálar, frauds,
eing (Dan. en Eng) meadow eingjar, meadows,
mund, time mundir, times,
þúsund (Dan. Tusende) thousand þúsundir, thousands.
