Anglo-Saxon Primer, With Grammar, Notes, and Glossary Eighth Edition Revised
Fēa (few) has only the plural inflections, dat. fēam, gen. fēara.
Hēah (high) drops its second h in inflection and contracts:—hēare, nom. pl. hēa, dat. hēam, acc. sing. masc. hēanne.
Fela (many) is indeclinable.
WEAK ADJECTIVES.
The weak inflections of adjectives agree exactly with the noun ones:-
| SINGULAR. | |||
| Masc. | Neut. | Fem. | |
| Nom. | gōd-a, | gōd-e, | gōd-e. |
| Acc. | gōd-an, | gōd-e, | gōd-an. |
| Dat. | gōd-an, | gōd-an, | gōd-an. |
| Gen. | gōd-an, | gōd-an, | gōd-an. |
 |
|||
| PLURAL. | |||
| Nom. | gōd-an. | ||
| Dat. | gōd-um. | ||
| Gen. | gōd-ra. | ||
The vowel- and consonant-changes are as in the strong declension.
COMPARISON.
The comparative is formed by adding -ra, and is declined like a weak adjective:—lēof (dear), lēofra masc., lēofre fem., lēofran plur., etc.; mǣre (famous), mǣrra. The superlative is formed by adding -ost, and may be either weak or strong:—lēofost (dearest).
The following form their comparisons with mutation, with superlative in -est (the forms in parentheses are adverbs):—
| eald (old), | ieldra, | ieldest. |
| lang (long), | lęnġra, | lęnġest. |
| nēah (near), | (nēar), | nīehst. |
| hēah (high), | hīerra, | hīehst. |
The following show different roots:—
| gōd (good), | bętera, | bętst. |
| yfel (evil), | wiersa, | wierrest. |
| miċel (great), | māra (mā), | mǣst. |
| lȳtel (little), | lǣssa (lǣs), | lǣst. |
The following are defective as well as irregular, being formed from adverbs:—
| ǣr (formerly), | ǣrra (ǣror), | ǣrest. |
| fore (before), | . . . | forma, fyrmest. |
| ūt (out), | ȳterra, | ȳtemest. |
