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).
