Dictionary

Below you will find a simple Eittlandic to English dictionary. It uses some abbreviations you should keep in mind:

acc

accusative

adj

adjective

adv

adverb

art

article

aux

auxiliary

comp

comparative

conj

conjunction

Dan

Danish

dat

dative

def

definite

Eng

English

f

gen

genitive

Ger

German

imp

imperative

ind

indicative

interr

interrogative

iv

m

ME

n

neuter

neg

nom

nominal

Nor

Norwegian (Nynork if no dialect is specified)

num

numeral

OE

Old Eittlandic

OI

Old Icelandic

ON

Old Norse

pas

pl

plural

prep

pret

preterite

pron

pronoun

sc

strong common

sg

singular

sn

strong neuter

stg

sv

Swe

wk

wn

wv

Note that when a word is marked solely as masculine, feminine or neutral, it is a noun. 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 . 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. The underlying vowel also reappears when the word is used in its definite form. For instance, dagr becomes dagann due to the underlying «a» in its accusative form dag(a) while fiskr becomes fiskinn (the «i» is added when no other vowel can replace it). To symbolize which definite article is used with nouns, it is indicated between parenthesis in the accusative case, preceeded by a dash, as in dag(a-n).
