Declension of Nouns with the Article.
74. In the declension of the noun with the article hitr
hinn, hin, both retain their endings unaltered, so that both
combined have a double declension. The article is thus
declined :
Sing. Nom. hit hinu hin
Ace. hit hinn hina
Dat. hinu hinum hinni
Gen. hins bins hinnar
Plur. Nom. hin hinir hinar
Ace. hin hina hinar
Dat. hinnum
Gen. hinna
The h is continually dropped when the article is com-
pounded with a substantive ending in a short vowel, a, i, uy
the -i is also dropped after every polysyllabic word ending
in -r.
75. The substantives when used with the article drop
the m of the Dative Plural, they end therefore in u, whilst the
article drops -hi.
First Order.
Sing. Nom. hjarta-t (heart) andi-nn (spirit) gata-n (road}
Ace. hjarta-t anda-nn gotu-na
Dat. hjarta-nu anda-num gtftu-nni
Gen. hjarta-ns anda-ns gOtu-nnar
Plur. Nom. hjOrtu-n andar-nir gOtur-nar
Ace. hjOrtu-n anda-na gOttir-nar
Dat. hjortu-num ondu-num gOtu-num
Gen. hjartna-nna; anda-nna; gatna-nna
76. It must be borne in mind with respect to the 2nd
and
3rd
Order where the i in the Dat. of masc. subst. is wangtin
they do not take the i of the Article either, as:
dreingr-inn, dreingnum; dalrinn, dalnum. r
-t)
But those which can take an t
keep it, as: isinum, better
than isnum; stolinum (Snorra-Edda 114) better than
st61num.
