[[** tabell forts. fra forrige side **]]

(of)	efra	efst	highest
(niðr̓)	neðra	neðst	nethermost
(for)	fyrra	fyrst	first
(síð)	siðara	siðast	latest
(heldr̓)	heldra	helzt	ratherest
(áðr̓)	æðra	æðst	erst
(fjarri)	(firr)	first	farthest
(ná-)	(nær, nærr)	næst	nearest

Fremra and siðara, have a regular positive, with different
significations:

        framt, framr̓, fröm, excellent, valiant (poetically);

        sítt, síðr̓, síð, shallow, flat.

104. Adjectives which have no positive, receive no
comparisons, as allt (96) and those ending in -i, or -a (97) as
well as the Pres. part. pass. in -andi. But these words can
yet be increased or decreased by means of the adverbs:

        meir, mest, or heldr̓, helzt, or: minnr̓ (miðr̓),
minnst (minzt), siðr̓, sizt.

III. Pronouns.

105. The first two personal pronouns have a dual, which
is commonly used as the plural, whilst the old pl. only occurs
in the high style.

Sing.	1. Person		2. Person		3. Person
Nom.	ek (eg)		þu		—
Acc.	mik (mig)		þik (þig)		sik (sig)
Dat.	mer		þer		ser
Gen.	mín		þín		sín
	⏞		⏞
	Dual	Plural	Dual	Plural	Plural
Nom.	vit	(við) ver	þit	þer	—
Acc.	okkr̓	oss	ykkr̓	yðr̓	sik (sig)
Dat.	okkr̓	oss	ykkr̓	yðr̓	ser
Gen.	okkar	vâr;	ykkar	yðvar	sín

The third person has neither Neuter nor Plural which are
replaced by the defin. pron. þat, sá, sú, which is thus declined:

Nom.	hann	hon (hún)
Acc.	hann	hana
Dat.	hânum (om)	henni
Gen.	hans	hennar
