65. The other irregular Masculines are: [[** se s. 11. Sjk: Det spørs om ʼr også her er settefeil for r̓ **]]

Sing.	Nom.	skór (shoe)	dörr (spear)	maðʼr (man)	fíngʼr (finger)
Acc.		skó	dör	mann	fíngʼr
Dat.		skó	dör	manni	fingri
Gen.		skós	dörs	manns	fingʼrs
Plur.	Nom.	skúar	derir	menn	fingʼr
Acc.		skúa	deri	menn	fingʼr
Dat.		skóm	dörum	mönnum	fingrum
Gen.		skúa;	darra;	manna;	fingra.

The moderns contract skór in the Plural Nom. skór,
Acc. skó, Gen. skóa.

66. Irregular feminines are:

        sál, the soul, Dat. sálu — Plural sálir, Gen. sálna,
also in the Gen. Sing. sálu, particularly found in compounds,
as: sáluhjálp.

        grein forms the Plural in greinir and sometimes greinar,

        ey, island, Dat. eyju or ey, Plur. eyjar — now eya is
generally used in Iceland after the 1^st Declension. Monosyllables
ending in á, which come in contact with an a or u following,
generally supplant them by á, as: brá, eyebrow, Gen. brár,
Plur. brár, Dat. brám, Gen. brá. Some derivatives with
these endings remain unaltered in the Sing. by the ancients
as: ásjá, care.


Third Declension.

67. This declension embraces all those words ending in
u or v, which are however frequently dropped or in some other
manner obscured. There are but few neuters, all of which end
in e (for ev), the Masc. end in the Sing. in -ar, Plur. -ir,
Fem. of the Sing. in -ar, or -r̓, form the Plural in -r̓:

		N.	M.		F.
Sing.	Nom.	tre (tree)	völlur (field)	fjörður (bay)	rót (root)	mörk (wood)
Acc.		tre	völl	fjörð	rót	mörk
Dat.		tre	velli	firði	rót	mörk
Gen.		tres	vallar	fjarðar	rótar	merkʼr
Plur.	Nom.	tre	vellir	firðir	rœtʼr	merkʼr
Acc.		tre	völlu	fjörðu	rœtʼr	merkʼr
Dat.		trjám	völlum	fjörðum	rótum	mörkum
Gen.		trjá;	valla;	fjarða;	róta;	marka.

[[** NB: ’r = trolig egtl. r͗. Og kodingen viser ikke klart hvilke spalter hhv. N M F dekker. Dansk utg. avviker og presisert her: intetkj = tre; hankj: völlur, fjörður; hunkj: rót, mörk **]]
