Otherwise, another marker such as /adj./ should +be added, for instance /f.adj./ for a feminine adjective. + +All words are indexed by their spelling as determined by Standard +Eittlandic, which roughly corresponds to the accusative of other +dialects. Each noun has its declension presented to the reader as a +guide to how it might generally look in dialects other than Standard +Eittlandic, however variations may exist from one dialect to another. +For instance, while most Eittlandic dialects lost the /ru/ part of the +dat.pl. declention, going from /férum/ to /fém/, some dialects in East +Northern Eittland still retain the former form. + +Letters in parenthesis are no longer used when writing Eittlandic but +are still underlying vowels that can still affect the pronunciation of +the word and its surroundings. For instance, /dag/ can represent two +forms of the word /dag(r)/, /dag/ and /dag(a)/. The former is pronounced +{{{phon(daɣ)}}} while the latter is pronounced {{{phon(daj)}}}. They can also +represent grammatical cases which are no longer used in Standard +Eittlandic, such as /dag(r)/ shown above which doesn’t exist as /dagr/ in +Standard Eittlandic, only as /dag/. + ** A ** Á @@ -8,17 +71,17 @@ ** Æ ** B -*** bræð -m. {{{phon(brɛð)}}} +*** bræðr +sm. {{{phon(brɛð)}}} See [[file:dictionary.md#broð][/bróð/]] *** bróð -m. {{{phon(brɔð)}}} +sm. {{{phon(brɔð)}}} , from ON [[https://old-norse.net/html/b.php#br%C3%B3%C3%B0ir][bróðir]] 1. brother, plural /bræð/ -Re-analysis of /bródir/ decomposed into /bróð/ + /-ir/ by popular +Re-analysis of ON /bródir/ decomposed into /bróð/ + /-ir/ by popular etymology.
