78. The r̓ before a vowel is pronounced with it and loses
its half sound, as: silf-rit, málm-rinn, fjöð-rin.

79. All the contracted and irregular forms remain as they
are, as:

        degi-num, katli-num, sálu-nni, álnar-innar;

r͗ retains its half-sound before n, as: bœndr͗-nir, fingr͗-na.
Only maðr̓ (65) adds in the Nom Plur. -ir. [[** punktum sic, trykkfeil?: JA, intet i dansk **]] and in the Acc.
-i, therefore: mennir-nir (rarely menninnir), menni-na.

80. The monosyllabic feminine often expels the hi of the
article in the Acc. Sing. as:

        för-na, instead of för-ina, gröfna inst. of gröf-ina
(Snorra-Edda, 138); reið-na for reið-ina; húðna
for húðina (Snorra-Edda 144).

81. In case the substantive be a monosyllable, ending in
a long vowel or doble sound (Tvelyd) the i of the article is
retained if the word remains monosyllabic, but it is left out
if the word becomes trisyllabic as:

        skrá-in, skrá-na, skrá-nni;

        ey-in, ey-na, ey-nni (thus also eyju-nni 66).
