Anon Sól 82VII/6 — hinum ‘to those’
Hér vit skiljumz ok hittaz munum
á feginsdegi fira;
dróttinn minn gefi þeim dauðum ró
ok hinum líkn, er lifa.
Hér skiljumz vit ok munum hittaz á feginsdegi fira; dróttinn minn gefi þeim dauðum ró ok líkn hinum, er lifa.
Here we two part and we will meet on men’s day of joy; may my Lord give to the dead peace, and grace to those who live.
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)
