Dictionary

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

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.
