Foil, folr, fol, does not contract its Ir into II, being a
monosyllable with a simple vowel.

the characteristic letters f, 3, except in a different declension in
the m. g. Ace.; it is declined

It will be observed that the vowel loses its accent, as soon as
a concussion of consonants occurs. Writing Iiti8 for litit
is for euphony’s sake, and occurs in the best manuscripts;
viz: the changing of this into 9, as soon as the word re-
ceives t in the beginning, therefore rita9, but bakat etc.
The second word is mikit, mikill, mikil, Ace. mikit,
mikinn, mikla, Dat. miklu etc.
94. Those whose characteristic letter is n after a diph-
thong, or dissyllables, followed by a vowel, contract the n with
r into nn (39) as:
vaent, vsenn, vgen, Ace. vsent, vaenan, vaena; Dat.
vaenu, va3num, vsenni and in f.
g. Gen. v 33 n n a r, Plur*

Dissyllables deviate besides in m. g. Ace. by contraction,
if the termination begins with a vowel, as:
Singular Nom. heiSit hei5inn hei9in
Ace. heiQit heiftinn heiSna
Dat. hei5nu hei5num heiSinni
Gen. heiciins
Plural Nom. hei9in hei5nir
Ace. heiSin hei8na
