Svart Skauf 37VIII/8 — inn
‘Mun eg til rekkju reika verða;
mier tekr verkur að vaxa í síðu.
Svó hef eg ætlað: sjá mun dagr koma
mier yfir höfuð minn inn síðasti.
‘Eg mun verða reika til rekkju; verkur tekr að vaxa í síðu mier. Svó hef eg ætlað: sjá dagr, minn inn síðasti, mun koma yfir höfuð mier.
‘I’ll have to stagger to bed; the pain begins to increase in my side. This is what I’ve expected: this day, my last one, will come upon me.
grammar
Pronouns and determiners: Definite article
The definite article is normally suffixed to nouns, except in some cases where it is used with an adjective. If the noun form ends in a vowel, the 'i' in the article is dropped. If the noun form ends in 'um', the 'm' and 'i' are both dropped. E.g. hesta (acc. pl.) > hestana (acc. pl. definite); hestum (dat. pl.) > hestunum (dat. pl. definite)
