S. there are two modes of declension; in one, the plural ends in _-s_; in the other, in _-a_. The specimen in s. 83 represents the first of these modes only. From this the Frisian is essentially different. With the second it has a close alliance; _e.g._:-- _Saxon._ _Frisian._ _Sing. Nom._ Sunu (_a son_) Sunu. _Acc._ Sunu Sunu. _Dat._ Suna Suna. _Gen._ Suna Suna. _Plur. Nom._ Suna Suna. _Acc._ Suna Suna. _Dat._ Sunum Sunum. _Gen._ Sunena (Sunena).

Bernath _They burn._ In the inflection of the verbs there is between the Frisian and A. S. this important difference. In A. S. the infinite ends in _-an_ _macian_, to make, _laeran_, to learn, _baernan_, to burn; whilst in Frisian it ends in _-a_, as _maka_, _l['e]ra_, _berna_.
