ǪrvOdd Ævdr 70^VIII (Ǫrv 140)/8 — in ‘the’

Sat ek at sælu         síðan minni
vilgi lengi,         sem ek vita þóttumz.
Fjölð er at segja         frá förum mínum
snotrum seggjum;         sjá mun in efsta.

Ek sat síðan vilgi lengi at sælu minni, sem ek þóttumz vita. Fjölð er at segja snotrum seggjum frá förum mínum; sjá mun in efsta.

I remained afterwards in my good fortune for a very long time, as I seemed to know. There is a great deal to tell wise men about my journeys; this one will be the last.

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)
