Declension[edit]
Declension of þiufær (Scanian system)
singular | plural | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
indefinite | definite | indefinite | definite | |
nominative | þiufær | þiufrin | þiufar | þiufarnir |

The declension is unstable and should be treated as a guide. The case system was gradually being simplified from four to two cases. Even some nominative markers were sporadically kept in the Scanian dialect, although they mostly were replaced with the accusative endings from Old Norse. |
