158: #hēo# is ȝho 2: #hw# is _wh_, whas 90, whatt 137. #Accidence:# Strong declension of _masc._ and _neut._ nouns. In the _s. n._ sune 20, 106 represents #sunu#. _Gen._ -ess, daȝȝess 100, deofless 67, heffness 14, lifess 100, but, by a scribal error, daȝȝes 75: _d._ -e, hewe 170, sune 96, worde 60, and six others, but the inflection is mostly wanting, as in bodiȝ 173, daȝȝ 99, dom 75, and thirty-two others. The _acc._ heffne 12 is due to the LWS. _fem._ #heofone#. The _pl. n. a._ of masculines ends in -ess, hirdess 46, bisscopess 51; neuters are shep 50, 54, ?wiless 126: genitives are enngle (þed) 15, 122, kinne 64, 71, 157: datives have mostly -ess, bandess 11, claþess 24, but þinge 71, wrihhte 151. The _fem._ nouns of the strong declension end in e in the _s. n. a._, blisse, sellðe 95, are 80, bisne 43, except mahht 72, þed 15, werelld 9, and sæ 12. _Gen._ -e, helle 101, 151, possibly blisse 174: _dat._ -e, blisse 18, cribbe 2, hallfe 93, but hallf 36. _Pl. g._ is þede 122; _d._ sawless 129; _a._ hande 10, shaffte 9, sawless 69. Nouns of the weak declension have mostly -e in all cases of the singular, but demess 75 is genitive and, before the caesura, lem 77, dative, beside leome 57, lem 107, 163 accusative: a _pl. n._ is wawenn 151. The minor declensions are represented by fet _pl. a._ 10, mann _s. n._ 20, manness _s. g._ 172, manne _s. d._ 30, mann _s. a._ 134, menn _pl. n._ 76, _pl. d._ 49, 56; nahht _s. d._ 46, nihht _s. a._ 57; moderr _s. d._ 1; child _s. n._ 4. Adjectives which in OE. end in e retain that termination throughout, as bliþe 85, cweme 152, eche 19, 100, 103, milde 82, riche 5, 112, 165, soffte 85, vnnorne 4. Instances of weak inflections are _s. d. m._ laþe 165, lefe 34, rihhte 49, starrke 75, _s. d. f._ brihhte 77, _s. a. m._ laþe 32, 73, 123, _s. a. neut._ rihhte 89, rume 14: strong inflections are few, _s. d. f._ fulle 90, hefennlike 8, 173, _s. a. m._ gode 153: all others are uninflected in the singular. The plural ends in -e, glade 127, gode 147, hallȝhe 69, laþe 31, 66, 126, cwike 15. Adjectives used as nouns are not inflected. #mycel# in the strong declension is mikell, _s. d. f._ 131, _s. a. f._ 93, _s. a. neut._ 61, in the weak, miccle _s. d. f._ 33 (#myclan#), _s. a. neut._ 120 (#mycle#). #āgen# gives aȝhenn 3, 54 without inflection. OE. #ān# is an _n. m._ 114, a 172, aness _g. m._ 170, an _d. f._ 2, _a. m._ 49, _a. f._ 3. Comparatives are bettre, mare 145, lasse 39; superlative, mast 169.
