115. Nokkut (danish noget) any, is contracted from
nak and hvert, hvat or hvart, in which ve or va is
contracted into u; this has many forms, of which we give the
oldest and most correct one.

Sing.	Nom.	nakkvart	nakkvarr	nökkur or nokkor
Acc.		nakkvart	nakkvarn	nakkvara or nokkora
Dat.		nökkuru	nökkurum	nakkvarri
		⏟
Gen.		nakkvars		nakkvarrar
Plur.	Nom.	nökkur	nakkvarir	nakkvarar
Acc.		nökkur	nakkvara	nakkvarar
			⏟
Dat.			nökkurum
Gen.			nakkvarra.

In n. g. also nakkvat, if derived from hvat, Dat. nökkví [[** punktum mgl: dansk har så **]]

Sometimes nökkut, nökkurr, nökkur,

and often nokkut, nokkurr, nokkur,

which has been adopted in the modern language. The two
last forms are also abridged by the moderns as:

        Dat. nokkru, nokkrum, nokkurri [[** punktum mgl.: dansk har så **]]

116. The negative pronoun is a compound of eitt, einn,
ein and the negative termination -gi, -ki, which also takes
many irregular forms; the oldest and most correct seem to be:

Sing.	Nom.	ekki (for eitki)	eingi	eingi
Acc.		ekki	eingan (eingi)	einga
Dat.		eingu (einugi)	eingum	eingri
		⏟
Gen.		eingis, einkis, einskis		eingrar
Plur.	Nom.	eingi	eingir	eingar
Acc.		eingi	einga	eingar
			⏟
Dat.			eingum
Gen.			eingra

The syllable eing is often found contracted into eng;
thus in the Acc.: engan, enga; and this eng changes with
öng, as: öngan, önga; or with an inserted v

         as: öngvan, öngva,

         Dat. öngu, öngum, öngri,

or even: öngarri, Gen. öngarrar, it also lengtens into
aung, as: aungan, aunga, or aungvan, aungva.

But in n. g. and m. g. Gen. occur the changes of ei,
or i in the chief syllable, not önkis, aunskis.
