#Accidence:# Strong declension of _masc._ and _neut._ nouns. _Gen._ -es, sunedeies 99, kinnes 104, 105: _d._ -e, deaðe 137, borde 87, but the inflection is often wanting, as in the compounds of dai, 101, 183, 184 and in most of the neuters, blod 144 (4), fleis 144 (4), &c.; muð 156 may be _acc._ (Anglian) after mid. In the _acc._ weie 59, 60, 62 has _e_ like jo-stems, and tacne 53 from _pl._ #tācnu#: mule 12 is French. The _pl. n. a._ of masculines ends in -es, cloþes 20, prestes 61, bendes 100; preste 9 is a scribe’s mistake for prestes: neuters are burhfolc 21, þing 148. _Pl. g._ kinne 103, but englene 172, estrene 140 (#ēastrena#), kingene 13, muðene 44 are weak forms, louerdes 12; _d._ boges 33, 65, trewes 34, 60. The _fem._ nouns, except wereld 168, have _e_ in the _s. nom._, chirchsocne 4, sinbote 109, abstracts in #-nes#, 109, 118, 119 as also in the _s. acc._ cuinde 160, forbisne 14, mihte 135, 159; hond 69, wereld 168 are exceptions: _g._ -e, sinne 100, but aristes 140 (occasionally _m._ in OE.): _d._ -e, cunde 162, dede 15. Plurals are _n._ hese 73, wede 103, wedes 104; _g._ estene 166, hestene 164, wedes 127; _d._ weden 131, honde 23, wedes 22, 125; _a._ mede 74, sinne 119, sinnes 46 (4), honden 128, pinen 96. Nouns of the weak declension have -e in all cases of the singular; lichames _s. g._ 162 excepted. Plurals are _n._ names 39, sanderbodes 18: _d._ axen 183, blostmen 26: _a._ acxen 96, blostme 24. The minor declensions are represented by fot _s. a._ 9, fet _pl. a._ 128; man _s. n._ 36, cristeman 176, mannes _s. g._ 62 (4), man _s. d._ 117, manne 176 (a weak form), men _pl. n._ 10, _pl. d._ 116, _pl. a._ 143; burh _s. d._ 21, bureh 11, 18 (#byrig#); boc _s. n._ 24; helende _s. n._ 5 (5) with participial termination; comp. 273/3, helendes _s. g._ 57; child _s. a._ 112; children _pl. n._ 31. Strong inflections of the adjective are _s. n. f._ bicumeliche 116, holie 45, 51; _s. d. m._ bicumeliche 93, eche 125, _f._ bicumeliche 93, 94, 183, eorðliche 72, faire 64, lude 28, wise 66; _s. a. m._ endelese 181, rihte 143, sehte 55, _f._ eche 181; but holi _s. d. m._ 184, soð 183, fair _s. a. m._ 12 are not inflected. The weak form has mostly -e in the singular, holie 24 (9), but holi 47 (9), lift 69, riht 68 are not inflected. Adjectives in the plural have -e; as also comparatives and superlatives, loðere 116, hegeste 176, but biterest 178. Adjectives used as nouns are bitere _pl. g._ 178, half _s. a._ 68. #āgen# is ogen _s. d. f._ 121; #ān# is an 19, a 11; #nān#, no 106 (3). Noteworthy among the numerals are tweire _pl. g._ 103 (#twēgra#), fifte 100, sixte 101, seueðe 102.
