in the Plural and forms the Dat. and Gen. durum, dura
or dyrum, dyra.
The following are still more irregular :
3ing. Nom. Ace. hOnd (hand) na"tt or nott (night)
Dat. hendi na*tt n6ttu
Gen. bandar nAttar naBtr (no-tr)
Plur. Nom. Ace. hendr na?tr (noelr)
Dat. hOndum nttum n6ttum

72. Some of the names of relations ending in -j’r, would
require a separate declension, if there were not so few,
namely:
father brother daughter sister
Sing. Nom. fa9ir brofrr d6ttir systir
Ace. Dat. Gen. fi)5ur broQur dottur systur
Plur. Nom. Ace. fefir broeQr doetr systr
Dat. fe5rum broeSrum doetrum systrutn
Gen. fe8ra; brreSra; doetra; syslra.
Like brodir is declined m65ir, mother.
We find in the Ancients the Dat. Sing, of fa9ir, fe8i,
of bro5ir,
73. We also find in the Ancient language some peculiar
names of relatives with different terminations, which embrace
two and more persons in one name, and which occur there-
fore only in the plural ;
if the two persons are of different
genders, they are in the neuter:
hjon, man and woman;
systkin, brother and sister;
hju, youth and girl, or man and woman;
f eft gin, father and daughter;
m oe 3 g i n , mother and son ;
fe5gar, father and son;
moe8gur, mother and daughter.
To these belongs also born, the only one which ako occurs
in the Singular, barn (=land); only fe3gar is masc. and
moeQgur, fern. (= tiingur) Gen. moeftgna.
