Correct gender cases for neutral masculine and feminine

[edit]

I have notice that some names here, *Haþuwīgą, *Raginawaldą, *Mērijawīgą and *Hrōþilandą are written with neutral endings despite being masculine or feminine specific names. Since the -az case ending isn't visible on most descendants I assume this is the reason why these entries were created with neutral endings. However if this Old Norse name is correct, Rǫgnvaldr points to *Raginawaldaz not *Raginawaldą. I, therefore, suggest that we should move *Haþuwīgą to *Haþuwīgō, *Raginawaldą to *Raginawaldaz, *Mērijawīgą to *Mērijawīgaz and *Hrōþilandą to *Hrōþilandaz. Any thoughts? 𐌷𐌻𐌿𐌳𐌰𐍅𐌹𐌲𐍃 𐌰𐌻𐌰𐍂𐌴𐌹𐌺𐌹𐌲𐌲𐍃 (talk) 22:52, 9 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
