Declension of Nouns with the Article.

74. In the declension of the noun with the article hit,
hinn, hin, both retain their endings unaltered, so that both
combined have a double declension. The article is thus
declined:
Sing. Nom. hit hinn hin
Acc. hit hinn hina
Dat. hinu hinum hinni
Gen. hins hins hinnar
Plur. Nom. hin hinir hinar
Acc. hin hina hinar
Dat. hinnum
Gen. hinna


The h is continually dropped when the article is
compounded with a substantive ending in a short vowel, a, i, u,
the -i is also dropped after every polysyllabic word ending
in -r.

75. The substantives when used with the article drop
the m of the Dative Plural, they end therefore in u, whilst the
article drops -hi.
First Order.
Sing. Nom. hjarta-t (heart) andi-nn (spirit) gata-n (road)
Acc. hjarta-t anda-nn götu-na
Dat. hjarta-nu anda-num götu-nni
Gen. hjarta-ns anda-ns götu-nnar
Plur. Nom. hjörtu-n andar-nir götur-nar
Acc. hjörtu-n anda-na götur-nar
Dat. hjörtu-num öndu-num götu-num
Gen. hjartna-nna; anda-nna; gatna-nna


76. It must be borne in mind with respect to the 2nd and
3rd Order where the i in the Dat. of masc. subst. is wangtin [[** = wanting?? **]]
they do not take the i of the Article either, as:

        dreingr-inn, dreingnum; dalrinn, dalnum.

But those which can take an i keep it, as: ísinum, better
than ísnum; stólinum (Snorra-Edda 114) better than
stólnum.
