gamli etc., but: heimilt or heimult does not contract.
Fölt, fölr, föl, does not contract its lr into ll, being a
monosyllable with a simple vowel.
93. In two words the l is dropped in the neuter before
the characteristic letters t, ð, [[** dansk har denne i kursiv, men ikke den nedenfor i samme avsnitt! **]] except in a different declension in
the m. g. Acc.; it is declined
lítið, lítill, lítil, Acc. m. g. lítinn (for lítiln) f. g.
litla, Dat. litlu, litlum, lítilli etc.
It will be observed that the vowel loses its accent, as soon as
a concussion of consonants occurs. Writing lítið for lítit
is for euphony’s sake, and occurs in the best manuscripts;
viz: the changing of this t into ð, as soon as the word
receives t in the beginning, therefore ritað, but bakat etc.
The second word is mikit, mikill, mikil, Acc. mikit,
mikinn, mikla, Dat. miklu etc.
94. Those whose characteristic letter is n after a
diphthong, or dissyllables, followed by a vowel, contract the n with
r into nn (39) as:
vænt, vænn, væn, Acc. vænt, vænan, væna; Dat.
vænu, vænum, vænni and in f. g. Gen. vænnar, Plur.
Gen. vænna.
Dissyllables deviate besides in m. g. Acc. by contraction
if the termination begins with a vowel, as:
