The nominative endings have found their way in: fjȯrahwa‘rf, fjɔraskit, fjȯraskit and rivatwari.
Gen. -r from O.N. -(a)r is found in ōrli, wȯrli [*árhlið] and ᶊūrməl [*sjóvarmál], sjurmol. On the other hand: “sūs” = sjós in sū··sameᶅ·abak··a. Gen. pl. forms, governed by millum, are found in: hosameᶅ·a [*húsa millum], and skäƫ·ɩmeliskrū·a = skɔtameliskrū·.
14. A trace of the pl. ending -ar is to be found in skɛklər, still remembered by a few persons as the old pl. of skɛkəl (see skekel in Dict.). Now skɛkəl and skɛklər alternate as sing. forms; pl.: skɛkəls and skɛklərs.
15. The derivative ending -ing(r) (-ung(r)) mostly changes to -in (through analogy with words, taken from English and Scottish, ending in -in’ — ing), more rarely -ən. Examples:
bja‘rtin [birtingr]. bulin or bolin [bulungr and bolungr], bolin(g), etc. ēᶊins [*æsingar]. fjēdin [*feitingr?]. fudin [*fótingr = *fœtingr?]. -grȯinin [Icel. grunnungr], *groinin. grønin [No. graaning], see § 12. hālin [*halingr]. ha‘ŋklin [*hangling(r)]. hō·kɩl(l)·in [hákerling]. hømin [*hýming]. jɛlin [Da. iling]. kläinin [klíningr], klø̄vin [*kløyfingr]. pjuslin, pøslin [Da. pusling]. rɩvlin [hriflingr], sɛtnin [*setningr]. skāvin [*skafingr], skavin2. skɔt·hȯm·lin [-hǫmlungr]. skrōvin [*skráfingr]. snɩgin [*hneggingr], sneggin, etc. stablin [*stabblingr]. sti̇̄vin, stivən [*stýfingr]. ta‘nt·fɛᶅ·ən [*tantfellingr], tantfellin1, 2. -ən for -əŋ in stamərən [*stafnrǫng], stamron.
In a few words (in certain parts of the Isles, such as in the isle of Whalsey and occas. in Yell) the ending -iən appears for -in, e.g.: bɛldᶎiən [Icel. belgingr]. glūbiən [*glúpingr]. rādiən, rōdiən. ūriən = hōrin. In a few words ending in -i, the -i seems to be an abbr. of -in, e.g.: hâli (cf. hālin). kāvi for *kāvin = *kafingr. kōgi [kagingr?], *kogi1. negi = neggi (cf. snɩgin). rāmi (for: *rāmin).
16. In some cases -in alternates with -ək, corresponding to an old -ingr, e.g.: fȯitlin and fȯit(l)ək [prob. *fœt(l)ingr]. hōrin and hōrək, see prec. ūriən. njafin and njafək. skɛptin and skɛbdək [*skeptingr].
17. In a number of words -ək has found its way, replacing -in, corresponding to -ingr (-ungr). Examples:
breɩᶇək, bräᶇək [Fær. brenning], brennek1. brølək. būrək. ɛrək, ærək [*æringr]. grø̄mək [*grýmingr = *grímungr?]. hȯdək [*hǫddungr?], hoddek2. hūdək, hø̄dək [hótingr? hœtingr?]. jarmək [*jarmingr]. sələk, sʌlək [Icel. silungr], silek2, sillek. ski̇̄tək [*skítingr]. slȯdərək [*slytringr]. swäƫək, etc. [*skvettingr], swettek, etc.
In individual cases it is uncertain whether -ək is only a later addition to the word-root or represents an older -ingr, -ungr, e.g.: pʌ‘ltək [piltr or piltungr], piltek.
18. The derivative ending -ari almost always changes to -ər (Eng. -er). The foll. words form exceptions to this rule:
bjin·târ· [*bindari], binder, stɔŋgari̇, stoŋ·gari̇̄ [*stangari].
In drȯᶇasi [*drynjari], dronjer, -asi has replaced an older -ari.
The ending -ar(r) has changed to -ari, -əri in: de hāmaris (-riᶊ) or heməris, həməris = hamari.
The ending -ur(r) is recognisable in the word gȯᶅūr·, gaᶅūr· [gollurr].
