Usage notes
[edit]- The distinction between masculine þrī and feminine/neuter þrēo, shown in the declension table below, existed only in the West Saxon dialect. In the other dialects þrēo was used for all three genders.
- The combining form (i.e., the form used as the first element of a compound) is þri-, with a short i: þrifeald (“triple”), þrimilċe (“May”), þrines (“trinity”), þriwintre (“three years old”). The word þrītiġ (“thirty”) is an exception, since it was originally a phrase meaning “three tens” and not a compound. See also twēġen, whose combining form is twi-.
